But JACOB HAVED I LOVED by Katherine Paterson, really stands out for being so unique and true and brave. There were so many books I loved as a kid my family moved a lot, and books were one of the few constants in my life. Talk about one book that made an impact on you. We will select and contact the very lucky winner on Friday, February 24th at noon (US Only). Interview with Jennifer Latham + #DebBallGiveaway of #DreamlandBurning! RT to Enter! /FFQF0P6F7X I almost want to drop a mic right here and now because that book summary is so dang good! Right? Lucky you, you can enter to win a copy by retweeting on twitter: Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham’s lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to life and raises important question about the complex state of US race relations-both yesterday and today. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery the night Tulsa burns. Nearly one hundred years earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family’s property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the past…and the present. Today on the Debutante Ball, I’m excited to welcome a fellow historical novelist, Jennifer Latham, whose book, DREAMLAND BURNING, is one I’ve had my eye on for a while and also one that’s accumulating one starred review after another (Congratulations, Jen!!).
