No white man would dare show up there unless it was daylight. No self-respecting white woman would be caught there at all. But for Johnny Ruth and Hessie, it's home. All of their relatives had lived and died right there on the Row.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohnny Ruth and Hessie grew up together, becoming best friends and neighbors, living side by side on Riggins Row in the middle of a small rural town in Tennessee. It's 1953, and both women are domestic maids who feel privileged to be working for prominent families who treat them well. It's a better situation than most other domestics have in these parts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohnny Ruth works for the Porters, the wealthiest family in the county. Charles Porter, a well-to-do attorney, is closely connected to the Ku Klux Klan. His beautiful wife, Savannah, is concealing her sordid, secretive past. Unlike her husband, however, Savannah doesn't have a racist bone in her body. When Charles hires Jasper Thomas, a black man, to be Savannah's driver, he has no idea that Jasper and Savannah will become best friends and confidants, adding fuel to an already smoldering fire within the community.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuick to notice this friendship, Johnny Ruth warns them of the far-reaching affects this taboo relationship could have-not only on them, but their families, friends, and possibly the whole town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzann Cordell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475978186\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45142300459123,"sku":"9781475978186","price":16.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_1bd54e5d-5fc3-438a-9890-16bd4ab8fa02.jpg?v=1782818389","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/riggins-row-9781475978186","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
