New Novel “WHITE” by Toronto’s Aviva Rubin Explores Generational Racism and Redemption
Toronto, ON — Toronto-based author Aviva Rubin is set to release her debut novel, WHITE, on October 1, 2024. This compelling work dives deep into the dark world of white supremacy through the eyes of a young woman determined to break free from her family’s toxic beliefs.
Raised in a white supremacist family, protagonist Sarah Cartell’s life is controlled by her grandfather’s violent ideologies. However, an unexpected friendship and guidance from the town librarian awaken Sarah to the truth about her family’s hateful beliefs. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to infiltrate a Neo-Nazi gang, posing as one of them in a risky attempt to stop a wave of hate crimes. In doing so, she unravels disturbing family secrets, ultimately leading her to a psychiatric ward. The novel raises poignant questions about whether anyone can truly escape the shadow of a hateful upbringing unscathed.
“WHITE” is already garnering significant attention and praise from notable figures. Arno Michaelis, author of My Life After Hate, states, “WHITE brilliantly explores the yield of seeds planted by hate and how they can be dispelled when the right people come into our lives.” Doris L. Bergen, author of War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust, describes it as “a mesmerizing tale of a young woman’s courageous yet flawed effort to fight white supremacist violence.”
Laura Zigman, bestselling author, calls WHITE “brave, moving, and fierce,” highlighting its dual nature as both a psychological portrait of generational racism and a commentary on the complexities of hope and change.
