New historical fiction from a Newbery Honor-winning author about how
middle schooler Ariel Goldberg's life changes when her big sister elopes
following the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision, and she's forced to
grapple with both her family's prejudice and the antisemitism she
experiences, as she defines her own beliefs.
Cover may vary.
Twelve-year-old Ariel Goldberg's life feels like the moment after the
final guest leaves the party. Her family's Jewish bakery runs into
financial trouble, and her older sister has eloped with a young man from
India following the Supreme Court decision that strikes down laws
banning interracial marriage. As change becomes Ariel's only constant,
she's left to hone something that will be with her always--her own
voice.
