On Mother's Day, 1961, a busload of freedom riders arrived  in Birmingham, Alabama, from \"up North.\" A group of angry white men, including  members of the Ku Klux Klan, armed with pipes and clubs, greeted them.  Life in this most segregated of southern cities would never be the same.  It is to this pivotal moment that novelist Vicki Covington returns.     Birmingham crackles with tension--at the foundry where  Pete, Dinah Fraley's husband, works; on the baseball field where white  and black company teams uneasily take turns; and most of all in Dinah's  hotel, where Commissioner of Public Safety Bull Connor holds court just  as he did when Dinah's mother ran the place as a bordello. When Dinah takes  in a freedom rider injured in the Mother's Day melee, the conflicts within  and beyond her well-ordered world reach a crisis point.    Firmly grounded in Alabama's physical, social, and cultural landscape, The Last Hotel  for Women revisits a painful moment in the South's past and allows  Covington to redeem its collective history with a story of grace and hope.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50117221384465,"sku":"CIN0817310037G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0817310037.jpg?v=1750786807"},{"product_id":"night-ride-home-book-vicki-covington-9780671743451","title":"Night Ride Home","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eA man and a woman wage the fight of \u003cbr\u003e their lives for a second chance at love \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nora Mahler leads a perfect life.
