"Kicking Leaves by Caperton Tissot......... is a time capsule presented to the reader in the shape of a memoir." Heidi J Moore, book reviewer, Adirondack Daily Enterprise, NY A memoir filled with wit and adventure, Tissot reflects on her rebellious years and what she learned as she romped through many challenging times. The author looks back with self-deprecating humor and personal insight on fast changing times from the early 40s until 2018. She shares her struggles and her joy as she makes a number of moves, first from America to Europe and back again, and then from state to state, all the while transitioning in and out of various work and social cultures. Along the way, Tissot shares her personal insights on the times as well as on her own challenges and choices.
