White Girls

With compassion, tenderness, and humor, White Girls renders unforgettably the pain of growing up in an America on the verge of a difficult awakening. Set in Union, Ohio, in the 50s and 60s — a place of suburban comfort, but nasty racial bigotry — this is the story of a young girl's growth from curiosity to adolescent defiance, as she crosses the color line for romance. "Moving and impossible to regret". — The New Yorker.
