There are a number of parallels which can be drawn between the fight to obtain rights for African American’s during the Civil Rights Movement and the current struggle for the right to marry in the Gay and Lesbian community. In Susan Rebecca White’s book A Place at the Table: A Novel these parallels are brought to the surface. Based in the heart of Georgia as well as the heart of New York City during the ‘70s and ‘80s this book tells the story of three separate people fighting to find their identify while shadowed by the burden of being unable to change who they are at heart.
This story shines a lot on all of the lies we tell ourselves over time to feel accepted in society and shows just how strong a person can be when the decide to stand up for who they are and what they want. At the center of it all is the story of an unconventional family brought together by the love of southern cooking and the pain of being alienated by their actual families.
