“Ruth grew up, as all previous generations had done for the breadth of human history, at a time when kids were expected to appease their parents. But then, when it was her turn to be the parent, she discovered that in the space of a few years, the balance had tipped entirely; her kids were not interested in appeasing her in the least. For Ruth and her peers, it was never going to be their turn.”
― Jeanine Cummins, Speak to Me of Home: A Novel
