When Alice Jones, a former domestic, 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>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"<br><br>A great story...Earl Lewis and Heidi Ardizzone tell it very well, retaining much of the drama that riveted the American public [almost a century] ago.--Ann Fabian "Chicago Tribune"<br><br>Compellingly probes an enduring American dilemma.--Bliss Broyard "Washington Post"<br>
