WHITE, a debut novel by Aviva Rubin, is set to captivate readers with its fact-based story of a young woman who is raised in a White supremacist family, rejects their values and works to dismantle Canada’s neo-Nazi network.

The Guelph launch of Rubin’s remarkable book is scheduled for Tuesday, April 15, at The Bookshelf, 41 Quebec Street, Guelph, ON at 7pm.

The launch event will feature an onstage conversation between Rubin and Kira Vermond, a Canadian journalist and author. After discussing how WHITE addresses hauntingly timely issues such as the spread of hate speech, there will be a Q&A session with the audience, followed by a book signing.
