Weedkiller's Daughter
Harriette Simpson Arnow
Introduction by Sandra L. Ballard
As compelling as it is turbulent, The Weedkiller’s Daughter
captures a family at the center of the rapidly changing society of

seeks escape from her parents’ increasingly restrictive world of
order and monotony, she ventures deeper and deeper into a
dangerously new territory. The Weedkiller’s Daughter is a
gripping psychological exploration of a generation on the brink of
indelible—and irreversible—transformation.
