Raisins In Milk AALBC Bestselling Book

Raisins in Milk by David Covin is a coming of age story focused on a young girl, Ruth-Ann Weathering, who is subjected to the staunch racism and stark reality of growing up in the South during the early 20th century. Beginning in the summer of 1913 and continuing through the winter of 1920, David Covin takes the reader on a journey through the seasons of Ruth-Ann Weathering’s life, her departure from Mandarin, Florida at age 13, her flight to Jacksonville, Florida, her migration to the north and her return to the south. We witness her resilience and determination to surmount the obstacles facing her.
