Rebel Heart: Against the Wind
A Memoir by Marietta Anderson
What happens when a sharp-tongued girl from small-town Kansas dares to take on the forces of war, censorship, and injustice—and won’t back down?
Set amid the cultural and political upheaval of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, Rebel Heart: Against the Wind is the riveting true story of Marietta Anderson, who grows up fighting bullies and defending the marginalized—and never stops. From a harrowing childhood confrontation with a kidnapper to standing on the front lines in Selma, her life is marked by courage and confrontation.
As a young wife and activist, she joins the antiwar and civil rights movements, challenging authority at every turn. When a university suspends her for distributing antiwar leaflets, she mounts a First Amendment legal battle that reaches the U.S. Supreme Court. She and her husband face threats, blacklisting, and the burning of a cross on their lawn.
Rebel Heart is a fearless account of love, betrayal, resilience—and the high cost of telling the truth.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Marietta Anderson is a seasoned communicator whose career has spanned politics, education, sales, entrepreneurship, and corporate communications. Her journey has taken her from the heartland of Kansas to the liberal East Coast and the conservative South, immersing her in the social and political currents of the 1960s and 1970s. Along the way, she experienced civil rights marches, antiwar protests, shifting gender roles, and the quiet battles of everyday people. Rebel Heart, her debut book, draws on these turbulent years-and the personal betrayals that shaped her resilience. Marietta lives in Wichita, where she continues to reflect, write, and tell the stories that matter.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Rebel Heart invites readers to reflect on the historic social and political shifts of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Marietta Anderzon, both witness and participant, recounts a life shaped by rebellion, resilience, betrayal, and transformation.Growing up in small-town Kansas, Marietta learns early to stand her ground-facing down bullies, defending the marginalized, and once fending off a kidnapper with a pocketknife. Debate hones her voice, and by the turbulent 1960s, she's primed to challenge authority, confront gender discrimination, and push back against censorship.In college, she meets a brilliant, stylish debater with a past connection. They fall in love, marry, and move to Massachusetts, where he pursues graduate studies and she, in fragile health, immerses herself in art, literature, and politics while working on campus.They later settle in East Tennessee, stepping into the era's frontline struggles: civil rights, war, censorship, and academic freedom. Marietta joins the Selma voting rights march, where police confiscate her camera. When her husband supports flag-burning protestors, the university president retaliates by contacting the draft board to have him reclassified as 1-A. Soon after, a burning cross wrapped in an American flag appears on their lawn.Undeterred, Marietta completes her undergraduate degree and begins graduate school. But when she distributes anti-war leaflets, she is suspended-sparking a First Amendment legal battle that reaches the U.S. Supreme Court. Under fire from their community, they endure threats, harassment, and isolation.They eventually relocate to coal country in southwest Virginia, build a home, and try to rebuild. But the stresses of activism, cultural change, infidelity, and disillusionment strain their marriage. Later, they return to Kansas to start over, opening a small business far from academia and protests. Marietta Anderson joined the voting rights march in Selma, stood with coal miners, and challenged injustice wherever she found it-including taking her fight for free speech to the U.S. Supreme Court. But activism came at a cost. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
