A Jew From Riga by Greta Beigel: “Greta visited Latvia in 2004 in order to discover more about her Dad’s mysterious past. How did her father, a young soldier at the start of World War II end up migrating to South Africa? Why did he leave suddenly when she was 10 and head for the States?” (May 2011)
Us by Michael Kimball: “A husband wakes up to find that his wife has had a seizure during the night. The husband calls an ambulance and his wife is rushed to a hospital where she lies in a coma. By day, the husband sits beside his wife and tries to think of ways to wake her up…Years later, the story of this long and loving marriage is retold by their grandson” (May 2011)
Kissing Outside the Lines: A True Story of Love and Race and Happily Ever After by Diane Farr: “Farr opens up with her signature wit and honesty about her relationship with her now-husband, Seung Chung, discussing the difficulties—and triumphs—they’ve experienced as a mixed-race couple. Throughout her book, Farr exposes the ways in which prejudice rears its ugly head—from Seung’s family members declining to attend the wedding to her brother’s careless use of racial epithets—when you dare to love “outside the lines,” and shares stories of other interracial couples who have made a similar leap.” (May 2011)
