Though she lived there until she was nineteen, she was never truly at home in the city but preferred Bay Head, New Jersey, where the family owned a summer house. Bay Head’s windswept shore drew Jane back year after year: “There was something eternal about it that was always a rock and an anchor for me.” Jane graduated from Smith College in 1939. Still, she yearned to move beyond the “frivolous, self-centered side of my nature…and to do something – anything – about the unfair treatment of workers, the hoarding of wealth in the hands of a few.” Eventually this search led her to God, though first through disillusionment and confusion. In 1954, Jane and her husband, Bob, joined the Bruderhof, a community movement dedicated to practicing Jesus’ teachings of nonviolence, economic equality, and social justice.visualizza meno
