Book Talk with Susan Kaplan Carlton

Susan Kaplan Carlton, author of In the Neighborhood of True, will join us for Shabbat and a book talk. Carlton's novel centers on sixteen-year-old Ruth Robb, who hides her Jewish identity when she moves from New York City to Atlanta, so that she can fit into her school's social scene. Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author, says, "The story may be set in the past, but it couldn’t be a more timely reminder that courage comes not from fitting in but from purposefully standing out."
