{"product_id":"9781475978193","title":"Riggins Row","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost white folks refer to Riggins Row as a shanty town. 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","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177857106160,"sku":"9781475978193","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781475978193_p0.jpg?v=1763607510","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781475978193","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
