<div>A Southern family confronts the tumult of the 1960s, and the secrets that bind its members together, in a novel by a National Jewish Book Award finalist. Jackson Sassaport is a man who often finds himself in the middle. Whether torn between Stella, his beloved and opinionated Yankee wife, and Katherine Marie, the African American girl who first stole his teenage heart; or between standing up for his beliefs and acquiescing to his prominent Jewish family&rsquo;s imperative to not stand out in the segregated South, Jackson learns to balance the secrets and deceptions of those around him. But one fateful night in 1960 will make the man in the middle reconsider his obligations to propriety and family, and will start a chain of events that will change his life and the lives of those around him forever. Home in the Morning follows Jackson&rsquo;s journey from his childhood as a coddled son of the Old South to his struggle as a young man eager to find his place in the civil rights movement while protecting his family. Flashing back between Jackson&#39;s adult life as a successful lawyer and his youth, Mary Glickman&rsquo;s riveting novel traces the ways that race and prejudice, family and love intertwine to shape our lives. This ebook features rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div>

Home in the Morning

<div>A Southern man delves into his father&rsquo;s past in this National Jewish Book Award Finalist from the &ldquo;fantastically talented&rdquo; author of Home in the Morning (Good Choice Reading). Bernard Levy was always a mystery to the community of Guilford, Mississippi. He was even more of a mystery to his son, Mickey Moe, who was just four years old when his father died in World War II. Now it&rsquo;s 1962 and Mickey Moe is a grown man, who must prove his pedigree to the disapproving parents of his girlfriend, Laura Anne Needleman, to win her hand in marriage. With only a few decades-old leads to go on, Mickey Moe sets out to uncover his father&rsquo;s murky past, from his travels up and down the length of the Mississippi River to his heartrending adventures during the Great Flood of 1927. Mickey Moe&rsquo;s journey, taken at the dawn of the civil rights era, leads him deep into the backwoods of Mississippi and Tennessee, where he meets with danger and unexpected revelations at every turn. As the greatest challenge of his life unfolds, he will finally discover the gripping details of his father&rsquo;s life&mdash;one filled with loyalty, tragedy, and heroism in the face of great cruelty from man and nature alike. A captivating follow-up to Mary Glickman&rsquo;s bestselling Home in the Morning, One More River tells the epic tale of ordinary men caught in the grip of calamity, and inspired to extraordinary acts in the name of love.</div>

An Undisturbed Peace

<div>On a sultry South Carolina island, sunlight teases out the darkest secrets of the heart, in this novel from the author of An Undisturbed Peace. Joe and Abigail Becker, a Jewish couple from Boston, have inherited a house on Sweetgrass Island in South Carolina&rsquo;s Lowcountry. Though they feel like fish out of water, the couple is excited to give the South a try&mdash;and maybe even find it a place to finally call home. Their Boston friends are convinced they won&rsquo;t last the summer. But the South works its magic on the Beckers, holding them fast to misty marsh, farmlands, and grand oaks, the sweet twang of banjos and the blues. Even the locals have put aside their usual mistrust of transplants. Joe is convinced that has more to do with Abigail&rsquo;s beauty than with his dubious charms&mdash;especially in the case of Billy Euston. A celebrated pit master and womanizer, Billy is transfixed with Abigail at first sight. And though Joe is used to his lovely wife&rsquo;s effect on men, he misjudges their playful flirtations&mdash;a tragic mistake that will tear through the island like a hurricane, leaving the broken and the battered in its wake . . .

By the Rivers of Babylon

<div>From a National Jewish Book Award finalist: A Jewish man and a Black woman find love against all odds, in this novel set during the Leo Frank trial in the twentieth-century American South. Nine-year-olds Max Sassaport and Ruby Johnson are best friends who can&rsquo;t imagine a world where they aren&rsquo;t together. Unfortunately, no one&mdash;not their families, nor anyone else in rural Georgia in 1906&mdash;wants to see a White middle-class Jewish boy get too close to the Black daughter of a sharecropper. It&rsquo;s only a matter of time before fate will separate the two. And that day comes on the eve of Ruby&rsquo;s womanhood, when a violent act sends her running from her home to the life of a child laborer at the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta. Max moves to Atlanta a few years later, still longing for the girl he has never forgotten. He is soon taken under the wing of Harold Ross, star reporter for the Atlanta Journal. But when Max is assigned to a controversial murder case that pits the Black and Jewish communities against each other, he&rsquo;s unexpectedly reunited with Ruby. The bond between them is still strong, but with the trial igniting racial tension throughout Atlanta and across the nation, do Max and Ruby dare dream of a future together? &ldquo;Mary Glickman is a wonder.&rdquo; &mdash;Pat Conroy, #1 New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of The Prince of Tides and The Boo</div>
