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 Picton launch of Rubin’s remarkable book is scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, at Books & Company, 289 Main Street, Picton, ON at 6:30 pm.

The launch event will feature a conversation between Rubin and author Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer. 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.
