SUMMARY:Ain’t No Grave: A Novel, with Mary Glickman
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nClick here to register for this free virtual event with the author of one of this year’s One Bay One Book selections.\n\nNine-year-olds Max Sassaport and Ruby Johnson are best friends who can’t imagine a world where they aren’t together. Unfortunately, no one—not their families, nor anyone else in rural Georgia in 1906—wants to see a middle-class Jewish boy get too close to the Black daughter of a sharecropper. It’s only a matter of time before fate will separate the two. And that day comes on the eve of Ruby’s womanhood, when a violent act sends her running from her home to the life of a child laborer at the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta.\nMax moves to Atlanta a few years later, still longing for the girl he has never forgotten. He is soon taken under the wing of Harold Ross, star reporter for the Atlanta Journal. But when Max is assigned to the Leo Frank case that pits the Black and Jewish communities against each other, he’s unexpectedly reunited with Ruby. The bond between them is still strong, but with the trial igniting racial tension throughout Atlanta and across the nation, do Max and Ruby dare dream of a future together?\nBorn on the South Shore of Boston, and now living in Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, Mary Glickman studied at the Université de Lyon and Boston University. She is the author of the novels Home in the Morning; One More River, a National Jewish Book Award finalist; Marching to Zion; An Undisturbed Peace; and By the Rivers of Babylon.\n\n\n\n\n
