About this item

I'm writing to say goodbye ... With all my love, M Summer 1933 At eighteen, Molly Ryan feels as though she is always looking for work to help her family through the Great Depression crippling her city. The one bright spot in her life is playing baseball with her best friend, Hannah Dreyfus, and sneaking glances at Hannah's handsome older brother, Max. Molly knows that her Irish Protestant parents disapprove of her spending so much time with their Jewish neighbours, and she also sees the signs that say "No Jews Allowed" outside Toronto's stores and parks. But unlike many of the city's residents, Molly doesn't blame Hannah and Max for the mass unemployment and unrest - they're her beloved childhood friends. As more of Hitler's hateful ideas cross the sea, tensions between the two families and their communities rise, spilling over one smouldering day in August when a local "Swastika Club" unfurls a huge white banner bearing the Nazi symbol at a baseball game.
