The compexity of the identity of the social worker is matched by that of the author's identity as a 20th century woman. A post modernist search for affiliation and connection as well as autonomy is an underlying theme. The book is also a story of a professional woman's internal struggle to mesh career aspirations with marriage and family expectations imposed upon her by society and by her upbringing. It is a story sure to resonate with the current generation of professinal women who continue to struggle with the very same issues.
