4.9/5 (27698 ratings)

Description:A new young adult novel, Leaving Kent State (Harvard Square Editions), by debut author Sabrina Fedel, brings to life America's political and social turmoil as it ushered in the new decade of the 1970s. Throughout the harsh winter of 1969–1970, Kent, Ohio, became a microcosm of the growing unrest that threatened the very nature of democracy. On May 4, 1970, the campus of Kent State University became the final turning point in Americans' tolerance for the Vietnam War, as National Guardsmen opened fire on unarmed student protestors, killing four and wounding nine shocking the democratic world to its core. Told from the viewpoint of seventeen-year-old Rachel Morelli, Leaving Kent State explores themes of the day that are strikingly similar to our own: terrorism, war, racial injustice, and gender inequality. As Rachel struggles to convince her dad that she should go to Pratt Institute in New York to pursue her dream of becoming an artist, Kent slips ever further off of its axis, in step with the growing discord across the nation. Caught between her love for her next door neighbor, Evan, a boy who has just returned from Vietnam, and her desire to escape Kent, Rachel must navigate a changing world in ways she'd never imagined.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
