And, perhaps most important to them, here is the story of their private lives and the family whose love and security more than repaid the sacrifices they made.Often funny, occasionally heartbreaking, and always clear-eyed and candid about themselves and the world they helped to shape, Ossie and Ruby have recorded a book sure to win the heart of anyone who cares about American theater, the struggle for civil rights, and the deep, inspiring values that have guided the lives of two great artists who blazed a triumphant trail.For the first time ever, experience this archival tour de force recording.Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
