The story begins in the emergency room in Corinth Hospital in 1967 where a slightly wounded professor is brought in by a friend. The local reporter tries to flesh out the story, but his editor kills it, and all that is clear is that there was some sort of duel. It introduces the three main mail characters, John Dobrov, Turner Ashby DeLay, and Charley Steinke. Then there is a flashback to 1952, and the novel follows the stories of the three who are brought together on the Georgia campus in 1961. The second chapter is set on the campus of Golden State University in California where the main character in the story, Evangeline Higginson, has founded the Rosy-Fingered Dawn Club, a small group of Coeds who anticipate an enlargement of the career opportunities for women. Hig is a beautiful woman, but, unlike most female leades, she has a flinty character, and her superior intelligence carefully analyzes all the situations she encounters. She is also an electra, and thus does not view the male sex with hostility. She rescues and completely remakes a crippled football player as a kind of hobby to alleviate her boredom. This leads to an unexpected marriage, and she has to put her own career on hold until her husband is settled in his profession. How does a liberated woman maintain her identity in wedlock? This is a continuing question during the 1960's. Her massive intelligence also grapples with an age-old question -- what is this thing called love? She believes that men marry for sex, women for companionship, and wonders if love is a myth devised by women to gild economic motives. Not until the final chapter does she find answers to these two questions that satisfy her. The football player she rescues, remakes, and marries is John Dobrov, a man's man of Czech background from Youngstown, Ohio. He regards his wife with awe, and is uttterly dominated by her in all areas until he meets a colleague, Turner Ashby DeLay, who is equal to his wife in intelligence, but has an entirely different reaction to contemporary developments, the integration crises, the women's movement, and the Vietnam War. Dobrov is a man with all the attitudes programmed into the male sex, and his marriage becomes a crescendo of clashes with his wife. A basic problem between them is one that is always overlooked in both novels and real life.

“WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? ” As a historian, Buzzy Jackson thought she knew the answers to these simple questions—that is, until she took a look at her scrawny family tree. With a name like Jackson (the twentieth most common American surname), she knew she must have more relatives and more family history out there, somewhere. Her first visit to the Boulder Genealogy Society brought her more questions than answers . . . but it also gave her a tantalizing peek into the fascinating (and enormous) community of family-tree huggers and after-hours Alex Haleys. In Shaking the Family Tree, Jackson dives headfirst into her family gene pool: flying cross-country to locate an ancient family graveyard, embarking on a weeklong genealogy Caribbean cruise, and even submitting her DNA for testing to try to find her Jacksons. And in the process of researching her own family lore (Who was Bullwhip Jackson?) she meets legions of other genealogy buffs who are as interesting as they are driven—from the boy who saved his allowance so he could order his great-grandfather’s death certificate to the woman who spends her free time documenting the cemeteries of Colorado ghost towns. Through Jackson’s research she connects with distant relatives, traces her roots back more than 250 years and in the process comes to discover—genetically, historically, and emotionally—the true meaning of “family” for herself.
