Synopsis:

A funny, poignant monthly column in Literary Mama exploring the author's fourth generation Red Diaper Baby heritage and how that legacy informs her parenting.

Book Excerpt:

Ericka Lutz is the offspring of Jewish-atheist-feminist-Marxists, a large extended family with strong humanistic values... and harsh internal truths. In this column, Ericka explores this legacy and reflects on questions that arise as she mothers her daughter: What values do you take from your family? What lessons do you learn from your cultural history? What do you do about the family secrets? And what is the Dharma of the Red Diaper?
