Requests:  0 Summary:  Ruth Fitz, a black teenager surrounded by activism in a family rocked by tragedy, discovers that she has begun to receive parchment letters from Harriet Jacobs, the author of the autobiography and 1861 American classic, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, and sets out to use her own voice to make history. Ruth Fitz is surrounded by activism. Her mother is a senator who frequently appears on CNN as a powerful Black voice fighting for legislative social change within the Black community. Her father, a professor of African American history, is a walking encyclopedia, spouting off random dates and events. And her beloved older sister, Virginia, is a natural activist, steadily gaining notoriety within the community and on social media. Ruth, on the other hand, would rather sit quietly reading or writing in her journal. When her family is rocked by tragedy, Ruth stops writing. As life goes on, Ruth's mother is presented with a political opportunity she can't refuse. Just as Senator Fitz is more absent, Ruth begins receiving parchment letters with a seal reading WE ARE THE SCRIBES, sent by Harriet Jacobs, the author of the autobiography and 1861 American classic, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Is Ruth dreaming? How has she been chosen as a "scribe" when she can barely put a sentence together? In a narrative that blends present with past, Randi Pink explores two extraordinary characters who channel their hopelessness and find their voices to make history.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Fiction Pink Checked In Add Copy to MyList
