520    "From the daughter of one of America's most virulent 
       segregationists, a memoir that reckons with her father 
       George Wallace's legacy of hate -- and illuminates her 
       journey towards redemption. Peggy Wallace Kennedy has been
       widely hailed as the 'symbol of racial reconciliation' 
       (Washington Post). In the summer of 1963, though, she was 
       just a young girl watching her father stand in a 
       schoolhouse door as he tried to block two African-American
       students from entering the University of Alabama. This man,
       former governor of Alabama and presidential candidate 
       George Wallace, was notorious for his hateful rhetoric and
       his political stunts. But he was also a larger-than-life 
       father to young Peggy, who was taught to smile, sit 
       straight, and not speak up as her father took to the 
       political stage. At the end of his life, Wallace came to 
       renounce his views, although he could never attempt to 
       fully repair the damage he caused. But Peggy, after her 
       own political awakening, dedicated her life to spreading 
       the new Wallace message -- one of peace, penance, and 
       compassion. In this powerful new memoir, Peggy looks back 
       on the politics of her youth and attempts to reconcile her
       adored father with the man who coined the phrase 
       'Segregation now. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation 
       forever.' Timely and timeless, The Broken Road speaks to 
       change, atonement, activism, and racial reconciliation"--
