Here are a few reviews of the book:

Like many Baby Boomers, Cary Lowe’s life has been defined by the traumas and dramas he was born into in the horrific aftermath of World War II, growing up as a displaced European in 1950s “normal” America, the civil rights movement, 1960s political activism, environmental law. Lowe’s journey in this memoir is the saga of an entire generation.

A fascinating and often poignant immigrant story. … It may be a cliche to call someone’s story one that could only happen in America, but that’s about the only way to describe Cary D. Lowe’s memoir, BECOMING AMERICAN, an enjoyable, breezy read about a man of the baby boom generation who lived a very unique life.
