About this listen

"This is East Texas, and there's lines. Lines you cross, lines you don't cross. That clear?"

New London, Texas, 1937. Naomi Vargas and Wash Fuller know about the lines in East Texas as well as anyone. They know the signs that mark them. They know the people who enforce them. But sometimes the attraction between two people is so powerful, it breaks through even the most entrenched color lines. And the consequences can be explosive.

Ashley Hope Pérez takes the facts of the 1937 New London school explosion, the worst school disaster in American history, as a backdrop for a riveting novel about segregation, love, family, and the forces that destroy people.

This book is so important. What a wonderfully written and heart breaking story. A rollercoaster of emotions sharing this journey with the main characters. So much love and hope and rage at those who continue to act to destroy it. The grief I'm experiencing after reading it is still very present days later.
