A powerful story of love, identity, and the price of fitting in or speaking out.<\/b>
\nAfter her father\u2019s death, Ruth Robb and her family transplant themselves in the summer of 1958 from New York City to Atlanta\u2014the land of debutantes, sweet tea, and the Ku Klux Klan. In her new hometown, Ruth quickly figures out she can be Jewish or she can be popular, but she can\u2019t be both. Eager to fit in with the blond girls in the \u201cpastel posse,\u201d Ruth decides to hide her religion. Before she knows it, she is falling for the handsome and charming Davis and sipping Cokes with him and his friends at the all-white, all-Christian Club.
\nDoes it matter that Ruth\u2019s mother makes her attend services at the local synagogue every week? Not as long as nobody outside her family knows the truth. At temple Ruth meets Max, who is serious and intense about the fight for social justice, and now she is caught between two worlds, two religions, and two boys. But when a violent hate crime brings the different parts of Ruth\u2019s life into sharp conflict, she will have to choose between all she\u2019s come to love about her new life and standing up for what she believes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
