Synopsis
The author continues the memoir that began in "The Road from Coorain," with her arrival in the United States from Australia in 1960 until her acceptance of the presidency of Smith College in 1975. She recounts her immersion in a world of intellectual women, her marriage to her Harvard House master, John Conway, whom she discovers is manic-depressive, their yearlong European honeymoon, and her lingering anger at her mother.

Industry Reviews
"Ms. Conway, who confessed in her first memoir to having been raised to see the world 'from the British definition taught to my kind of colonial,' embraces in 'True North' a kind of neocolonial concept of service to women less privileged than herself."
New York Times Book Review - Carol Brightman (08/21/1994)
"A thinking woman's memoir...it resounds with ideas about nature, culture and education."
Tanenbaum
