Summary: "Before she passed away in 2007, Dr. Carolyn Goodman collaborated with author Brad Herzog to recount a life of courage and conviction, love and loss, tragedy and triumph. A half century after the "Mississippi Burning" murders, this is the first time that a victim's family member has expounded about the experience and the myriad emotions -- from guilt to resolve -- that it spawned. More than simply a memoir, My Mantelpiece is the story of a century's seminal progressive movements seen through the lens of a remarkable woman's singular journey."--Provided by publisher.
