Inhaltsangabe

In Two of A Kind Heart Nanci Griffith tells the story of a young girl and woman Kerry Evans, growing up in Austin in the late '60's and early '70's. Her family's roots are in the dusty flatlands of the West Texas Panhandle. . Those West Texas roots help Kerry maintain her balance in the midst of so much change going on around her, sexual, political, social--change which she wants to get out to explore and experience, choosing to express her feelings by writing stories and songs, Led by her great grandfather, Kerry gets to Saratoga Springs, NY, where she writes for a counter-culture newspaper and connects with her soul mate Margaret, a freedom loving, life affirming poet. Kerry finds romance in the folk music scene of Greenwich Village and experiences real life politics at a demonstration against the Vietnam war in Washington, D.C.
Finally, she comes back to Texas to write about the local music scene for a paper in Houston. Kerry also comes back to family and her first love, but she has changed--as have they.
The story is as much as anything about Kerry's coming to terms with how to maintain one's independence and still form meaningful relationships. There is the need to love and be loved and the need to be alone and on one's own, with the loneliness it entails. It's a balance she will always keep searching for and writing about. "Let's go to New York City!" is the cry for Kerry and Margaret to live life on their terms, trusting that their roots and family will keep them coming home.
