Ruth White Libri
I romanzi dell'autrice attingono profondamente a vividi ricordi d'infanzia trascorsa tra i monti Appalachi, un'ambientazione che informa gran parte del suo lavoro. Le sue storie esplorano le vite complesse degli adolescenti, spesso ambientate sullo sfondo di piccole città con una ricca storia mineraria. La scrittura è caratterizzata da una profonda comprensione dell'esperienza adolescenziale e delle dinamiche sociali che hanno plasmato la giovinezza dell'autrice. Un background educativo, in particolare come bibliotecaria scolastica, ha alimentato il desiderio di creare letteratura che risuoni con i giovani lettori, rifletta le loro realtà e incoraggi l'introspezione.

How much does one's color matter? Are we the color we see when regarding ourselves in the mirror, the color others see when they look at us or the color assigned to us by our circumstances of birth? Ally, a slave, has to answer these questions and, ultimately, discover what freedom means. Much of her story recounts her perilous journey: pursued by slave catchers, enduring cold and hunger, following the North Star. After crossing the Ohio River, safety is not assured because of the Fugitive Slave Act, but she is helped by Underground Railroad "conductors" until she becomes too ill to continue to Canada and freedom. Ally succeeds in ways she could not foresee to find freedom and love.
