Summary

An emotional young adult novel about a teen girl struggling with the news that her mother is critically ill at a time in her life when she needs her most.   Feisty, thirteen-year-old Megan McCaffery is proud to be a tomboy, and she just can't relate to the “southern belles” in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Her older sister, Audrey, is driving her crazy with constant talk about her upcoming wedding. When a popular girl at school takes an interest in Megan’s best friend, John-Paul, Megan is surprised at her own jealousy. Was she losing her tomboy edge? But when her mother’s mysterious headaches turn out to be a brain tumor, Megan’s world is truly turned upside-down.

    Ruth First was born in South Africa, where her Jewish family fled from danger in Europe in the early 1900s. South Africa was a safe place for Jews, but not for Black people. Inspired by her parents’ example, a teenage Ruth started a secret book club with her friends to talk about inequality, but she knew she also had to speak out in public. In college, she protested with other students, including Nelson Mandela, and wrote stories for the newspaper about racial injustice. Although she was arrested and forced to leave her country, she continued to speak out and write about the horrors of apartheid all her life. Ruth First never backed down.
