Seeking the Light: America's Modern Quest for Peace, Justice,

Here is the complex, fascinating, and often troubled story of the United States, especially as it has evolved in the last half of the twentieth century. The social, political, and religious dimensions of the nation's story are woven together, the way real life usually is. Throughout the book, reference is made to the members of one particular high school class--the 1959 class of Jackson-Milton High School in northeast Ohio. Their experiences of living through this period of U.S. history help to put a human face on this social history.
