Announcing Unite Against Book Bans
Our friends at the American Library Association (ALA) are organizing a public campaign called Unite Against Book Bans to protect the rights of everyone to access a variety of books. Like the ALA, we trust individuals to make their own decisions about what they read and believe. The goal for the Unite Against Book Bans campaign is to harness the energy of the large majority of Americans that oppose book bans and empower them to use their voice in the public arena to stop these efforts.
How You Can Help
We encourage you to join the campaign: www.UniteAgainstBookBans.org. Once you’ve signed up, we encourage you to write to your local school and/or library board to oppose book bans.
We also encourage you to follow its social media handles on Facebook (UniteAgainstBookBans), Twitter (@UABookBans), and Instagram (@UniteAgainstBookBans), as well as to like, retweet, and share their content.
by Larry Zuckerman
When Rollie Birch returns home from the Great War in 1919 with a cluster of medals, he feels as if he’s landed in the wrong country. His wife has died, leaving behind an infant daughter born while he was overseas. His small logging town of Lumberton, Washington, has grown but still runs on gossip. Almost overnight, Rollie the hero becomes a pariah for his scandalous decision to raise his daughter by himself—a child rumored not to be his—and for refusing to talk about his wartime exploits.
The past two years have changed Kay Sorensen as well. Daughter of the Lumberton timber baron, Kay spent the war working for her father, organizing patriotic and charitable efforts, and discovering her love for politics and business. But when her husband—Rollie’s former platoon commander—returns, Kay expects, correctly, that he’ll make her quit her job. She’s dreamed of marriage as an equal partnership; now, she chafes under her husband’s cold tyranny. Did the war change him?
Rollie might know, and Kay steels herself to beg information from a man her husband has publicly insulted. But neither Kay nor Rollie can anticipate how secrets, lies, and horrifying revelations may destroy them. Do two lonely, passionate rebels have the moral courage to stand up to gossip, defy cultural boundaries, and dare reinvent themselves in a world forever changed?
