NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “In this highly opinionated and highly readable history, Kurlansky makes a case for why 1968 has lasting relevance in the United States and around the world.”—Dan Rather To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Yet it was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy assassinations; the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago; Prague Spring; the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive; Black Power; the generation gap; avant-garde theater; the upsurge of the women’s movement; and the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. In this monumental book, Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when television’s influence on global events first became apparent, and spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world. Encompassing the diverse realms of youth and music, politics and war, economics and the media, 1968 shows how twelve volatile months transformed who we were as a people—and led us to where we are today.

This autobiography depicts the author's haunting memories, frustrations of ignorance (darkness) as a child, and the confusion that escorted introverted Rose Rutland into a season of promiscuity as a young woman and an unplanned pregnancy, then ultimately into attempting suicide. It also shows the tricks and tactics of the enemy, how he played and preyed upon her to bring her to that place of hopelessness. This young Black woman, Rose, struggles to understand what is happening to her amid the ignorance (darkness) that slowly overtakes her throughout her life. Ignorance, ranging from parents' love, sibling rivalry, neglect, guns, men, sex, abortion, abuse, lies, secrets, misunderstandings, dreams, visions, angels, God, and eternity. Despite it all, Rose pushes toward the unknown. God wanted this book written to knock on the doors of hearts that are crying out for help, as mine was. Writing this book brought back memories that used to make me cry. Being led of God to write it I cried not for pain of those memories. I wept over the Love God showed through it all. And I laughed at the foolishness of that dead little girl. This book is an answer to someone's cry. May this book increase hope and faith in God, open blind eyes, and set the captives free.
