All-American Girl

About this book

"It is Becker's undefendedness that makes this collection so strong and appealing. Whether acknowledging childhood privilege... or admitting her part in creating her own destiny... Becker's direct, fluidly accessible lyric narratives move assuredly through even the most complex emotional terrain, living with the questions, letting us know that we are with a speaker we can trust."— Women's Review of Books
