Memphis, 1994. She’s half Southern Jew and half Southern belle. She’s in conflict with herself and her family. Which side will win?
Natalie Minerva Raskin always knew she had a dual heritage. She’s Russian Jewish on her father’s side and antebellum planter aristocracy on her mother’s. Raised Jewish and socially conscious, she’s never given much thought of being a daughter of the Confederacy.
When her maternal grandmother offers her the chance to come out as a debutante at the Memphis Cotillion Ball, Nat is angry—and shaken. Searching for her roots, she discovers a Southern past that casts a long, dark shadow over the present.
Can the Southern Jew accept the Southern belle? Or not?
Genre: Historical
