520    Fiction. Poetry. When Titus Horace, successful African 
       American author, inherits a large tract of land, he leaves
       Chicago with his Jewish wife Ardene and their daughter Asa,
       and moves to the segregated North Carolina of 1950. 
       Unhappy at being uprooted from her school and friends, Asa
       quickly learns how persons of color are intimidated and 
       humiliated on a daily basis and how, despite their 
       education and talent, each day becomes an effort to 
       survive brutal hostility. Asa discovers she and her father,
       a professor at the college for black students, cannot 
       enter the town's public library. As Asa struggles to adapt
       to her new life, she falls in love with a musical savant 
       who lives in a cabin on Horace land, and joins members of 
       a small diverse community to defy the oppression of legal 
       segregation through profound acts of resistance.  THE BOOK
       OF ASA was a finalist for the inaugural International 
       Beverly Prize established to honour the memory of Beverly 
       Swift, a Quebec-born attorney and academic. Beverly Swift 
       was a writer and reader whose passion for books, sense of 
       humour and compassion for animals was widely known.
