Review | Rescuing Patty Hearst: Memories from a Decade Gone Mad
                  by Virginia Holman (Simon & Shuster, 2003)
Susan Garrett, author of Miles to Go: Aging in Rural Virginia and Taking Care of Our Own: A Year in the Life of a Small Hospital, reviews here Rescuing Patty Hearst: Memories from a Decade Gone Mad, the new memoir by Virginia Holman. Garrett writes: "Virginia Holman has set her memory box down on a solid floor, opened it and sorted the pieces bit by bit into a beautifully crafted work of art, a mosaic of her own remembered images placed among those recalled later by her father and sister. . . ." In addition, Holman reads a portion of the book, reprinted here with the kind permission of Simon & Shuster.
