“Hate can not drive out hate. Only love can do that.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
✡️
It’s the summer of 1967 and twelve-year old Ariel Goldberg is about to live in great moments if upheaval. Her sister decides to elope with an Indian man after the Supreme Court case of Loving vs. Virginia, which allowed people of different races to marry. Her family’s Jewish bakery is in trouble and she’s struggling with writing in class due to dysgraphia. When Ariel feels left out of the big decisions, especially concerning her sister and her parents not talking to her, she takes matters into her own hands to try and bridge the family chasm.
