Description
It's 1937. Naomi Vargas is Mexican American. Wash Fuller is Black. These teens know the town's divisive racism-- and the potential consequences of defying "the rules"--Better than anyone. But sometimes the attraction between two people is so powerful it breaks through even the most entrenched color lines. Can their love survive both prejudice and tragedy? Race, romance, family-- and the real-life New London school explosion-- converge in this riveting novel that transplants Romeo and Juliet to a bitterly segregated Texas town
Includes a fascinating author's note detailing the process of research and writing about voices that have largely been excluded from historical accounts.
On March 18, 1937, a natural gas leak caused an explosion and destroyed the combined junior-senior high school in the small East Texas town of New London, killing approximately 294 students and teachers.
