Description

Jackson Sassaport is a man in the middle. Torn between Stella, his beloved and opinionated Yankee wife, and Katherine Marie, the African American “hired girl” who first stole his teenage heart—as well as between following his prominent Jewish family’s imperative to not stand out in the segregated South and standing up for his beliefs—Jackson learns to balance the secrets and deceptions of those around him. But one fateful night in 1959 will make him reconsider his obligations and initiate a chain of events that will change the lives of those around him forever.

Home in the Morning follows Jackson’s journey, from his childhood as a coddled son in a house filled with black servants, to his struggle as a young man eager to find his place in the civil rights movement.  Filled with beautifully rendered characters and charged with vivid prose, Mary Glickman’s riveting novel traces the ways that race and prejudice, family and love intertwine to shape our lives.
