Magnolia Code

Joan Brooks Baker grew up privileged in the New York City of post-World War II America. It was a world shaped by an unwritten code of conduct - the Magnolia Code - that paralyzed her mother and threatened to do the same to her. In this memoir, she shares how she navigated her bifurcated world, finding role models in rebellious women.
