She had moved to the D.C. area after Lgraduate school at Berkeley, anxious to find her voice as the com- munity organizer she had trained to be. But then, the organization for which she worked fell apart. She looked for a place to start over. It was just June and her dog then, and she ran into a guy with whom she used to teach.
