From acclaimed author
Patricia Hruby Powell comes the story of a landmark civil rights case,
told in spare and gorgeous verse. In 1955, in Caroline County, Virginia,
amidst segregation and prejudice, injustice and cruelty, two teenagers
fell in love. Their life together broke the law, but their determination
would change it. Richard and Mildred Loving were at the heart of a
Supreme Court case that legalized marriage between races, and a story of
the devoted couple who faced discrimination, fought it, and won.
