Fiction
In 1959 Virginia, the lives of two girls on opposite sides
of the battle for civil rights will be changed forever. Sarah Dunbar is one of the first black students to attend
the previously all-white Jefferson High School. An honors
student at her old school, she is put into remedial classes,
spit on and tormented daily. Linda Hairston is the daughter of one of the town's most
vocal opponents of school integration. She has been taught
all her life that the races should be kept "separate but
equal." Forced to work together on a school project, Sarah and Linda
must confront harsh truths about race, power and how they
really feel about one another. Boldly realistic and emotionally compelling, Lies We Tell
Ourselves is a brave and stunning novel about finding truth
amid the lies, and finding your voice even when others are
determined to silence it.
