A Story of Two Lives, One Street, and the Decades That Shaped a Generation.
It’s going to make you smell your mother’s kitchen.
It’s going to make you hear a screen door slam in 1958.
It’s going to make you remember where you were when Kennedy was shot — and when Armstrong walked.
Between 1946 and 1964, seventy-six million babies were born in the United States — the largest generation the country had ever produced. They changed everything. Not because they were smarter or braver, but because of when they arrived.
Who We Are traces two parallel lives — his and hers — through every decade from the Forties through Today, weaving personal milestones with the history that shaped a generation. From Kennedy’s inauguration to the fall of the Berlin Wall, from the birth control pill to the glass ceiling, this is the story of how we became who we are.
“The world was dead wrong.”

He didn’t stay on it — not entirely. Nobody in his generation did.
She came home in a pink blanket, to a world that had already decided what she would become. Every door she opened had been locked the day before. Every seat she took had been reserved for someone else.
Her story doesn’t run alongside his as a footnote. It runs alongside his as an equal narrative — because that is what it always was.
