Description
Savannah Riddle's life is one of luxury and privilege, but beneath its polished surface, she feels suffocated. As a daughter of an upper-class African American family in Washington D.C., she attends one of the most rigorous public schools in the nation, surrounded by expectations and conventions that stifle her individuality. It is here that Savannah meets Lloyd, a young man from a different world who opens her eyes to the struggles and injustices faced by those around her. Inspired by his passion and conviction, Savannah begins to attend suffragist lectures and socialist meetings, finding herself drawn to a new way of living. As she navigates this uncharted territory, she must confront the risks and challenges that come with challenging the status quo. Set against the backdrop of a nation on the brink of transformation, Saving Savannah is a story of one girl's journey towards self-discovery and activism, as she learns to take risks and fight for change in a world that needs her voice.
