Most ardently : a Pride & Prejudice remix / by Novoa, Gabe Cole,author.; based on (work):Austen, Jane,1775-1817.Pride and prejudice.;
"It was a special thing, to have one's reflection in harmony with who they were. London, 1813. Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets, petticoats, and ribbons he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world--and the vast majority of his family and friends--think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing pretty dresses, entertain suitors, and ultimately become someone's wife. But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It is during one such excursion that Oliver becomes acquanited with Darcy, a sulky young man who was rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart. As Oliver is able to spend more time as his true self, he dares begin to hope that his dream of love and life as a man could be possible. But suitors are growing bolder--and even threatening--and his mother is increasingly desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be someone he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly, honestly his own"--013+.Grades 10-12.

The letters : postmark prejudice in black and white / by White, Sheila,author.;
"Vivian Keeler is an intelligent, attractive and determined white woman from a traditional Nova Scotia family who risks it all by falling in love with a Black man. Billy White is a charismatic and gifted member of a prominent Black family; he's the brother of celebrated classical singer Portia White and the son of a renowned Black minister who garnered fame as an officer during the First World War. Vivian and Billy meet at a lunch counter in Halifax. During the next several months their casual friendship blossoms into romance. But the courtship that follows unleashes a torrent of racist rants that expose the pervasive bigotry of the late 1940s. The Letters: Postmark Prejudice in Black and White chronicles a passion that transcends deeply rooted taboos and sparks an orchestrated campaign to persuade Vivian "not to marry outside her race." As the pressure mounts, Vivian and Billy find strength in their shared affection. But will it be enough to overcome their own doubts about the viability of a future together?"--
