Been Meaning to Read Black and White and Read All Over?
If Black and White and Read All Over has been sitting on your “Want to Read” list, September might be the perfect time to start.
For the rest of the month, the ebook is available for just 99¢.
The novel is based on the remarkable true story of Alice Jones and Leonard Rhinelander, whose secret marriage became one of the most sensational scandals of the 1920s.
He was the heir to one of New York’s wealthiest families. She was the woman he loved and secretly married. When his family discovered Alice’s racial background, their private relationship became very public—and eventually landed in a courtroom.
Newspapers followed every revelation. Crowds packed the trial. And Alice found herself forced to defend her marriage, her identity, and her dignity before a nation eager to judge her.
The Rhinelander trial happened more than a century ago, but the questions surrounding it—about race, identity, privilege, the power of the press, and who gets to define another person—remain surprisingly familiar.
If you’ve been curious about Alice and Leonard’s story, the ebook is 99¢ through September 30.
