When Alice Jones, a former nanny, married Leonard Rhinelander in 1924, she became the first black woman to be listed in the Social Register as a member of one of New York's wealthiest families. Once news of the marriage became public, a scandal of race, class, and sex gripped the nation—and forced the couple into an annulment trial. "A compelling read."—Boston Globe "This is a great story....Earl Lewis and Heidi Ardizzone tell it very well."—Chicago Tribune

Industry Reviews

A compelling read...More than a story of love gone wrong, this book concerns the prickly nature of racial identity, how it is defined, and what it means to be black or white--or both--here.-- "Boston Globe"
