Elizabeth Kendall's parents were both members of the privileged cadre of St. Louis' upper class, and they fell in love when he came home at Christmas in uniform from the war. Beginning their married life at a young age and in an emotional vacuum, they embraced the conventions of their parents' culture, especially the worship of the family. They had six children; Elizabeth was the first. As her parents grew up, eccentricities hidden behind their social masks began to appear, and started to bend the ideal family unit out of shape. Elizabeth's mother entertained a deep longing for her own work, to do political and social good, and she returned to Vassar for a summer activist course, and became a powerful, controversial political advocate, first for the rights of the mentally retarded (one of Elizabeth's sisters was mentally handicapped), then for civil rights. Simultaneously, Elizabeth's father grew rigidly anti-social, retreating into a world of hunters and wild animal enthusiasts, becoming a master falconer and breeder of birds of prey and timber wolves. Financial problems plagued them.Kendall tells here the story of a family whose internal contradictions and battles are representative of larger social turmoil in post-war America. It is also the story of a passionate attachment between a mother and daughter. As the oldest child, Elizabeth was torn between her parents' different lifestyles and desires, and she became her mother's helper and shadow; yet her disposition longed to be free of both of them. Elizabeth's struggle with her mother ended violently in a 1969 car accident, in which Elizabeth was the driver, and her mother was killed. At the time, Elizabeth now confesses, it seemed"a nightmarish consequence of a secret wish to prove (her) mother wrong". After her mother's death, Elizabeth has to cope with making sense of her mother death, while she herself survived and prospered.Searingly honest, exceptionally beautiful, "American Daughter" is just that: a story of what it was like to be a girl in the 1940's/1950's and in the 60's, two daughters, one of World War II, the other of the Cold War, yet intricately intertwined.

In this beautifully crafted book, Elizabeth Kendall tells the story of a family, of a passionate attachment between a mother and a daughter and the sudden tragedy that tears it apart. American Daughter is also a brilliant portrait of wellborn women's lives in cities and towns in the post-World War II era, as Kendall evokes how difficult it was to become anything other than an American daughter, which meant being a dependent woman. Occupying a coveted place in St. Louis's privileged high society, Henry and Betty Kendall seemed to be the American dream come true: six children, a sprawling house, a legacy of higher education at Harvard and Vassar. Yet underneath lay the flawed marriage of an idealistic young woman who made her eldest daughter her best friend and turned civil rights into her salvation. Elizabeth maintained the family silence as eccentricities began to appear in her father's behavior, along with whispers of financial difficulties. She accompanied her mother back to Vassar for a summer program on the home and family, then came into her own, away from her family, at the haven of a girls' summer camp and at Radcliffe. From the war-torn 1940s, when young men in uniform, home on leave, went to debutante parties, through the seismic social changes of the 1960s, Kendall tells the intertwined story of her mother and herself, of their powerful bond and how both shaped their lives in response to it. Unrelentingly honest, rich with humor and insights into families and women's lives, American Daughter is both a poignant portrait of American life at the middle of the twentieth century, and a dual coming-of-age story of a mother and a daughter, united by commitment and love, separated by a fatal accident-and by the vastly different birthrights of their generations.
