Synopsis

Robert Rubenstein has written a shocking sequel to Ghost Runners, a Jewish Book World Book Note. The White Bridge is historical fiction about racism in Twentieth Century America and its consequences. The murder of her young friend takes a woman news reporter on a journey over a crossing that must be undertaken though it rocks the very fabric of the American Dream.
Not in Germany, but here, before Hitler,in places like Lynchburg, Virg:inia, or hospitals in Stockton, California. Nothing is sacred until the final stone is laid in Arlington Cemetery when the solution to a murder lays bare the best and the worst of America.
Often with hysterical, dark humor, Rubenstein traces Ginger Lee's transfomation from a quintisessential American flapper to a woman of deadly intent. When visions of hell take her to a crossing on The Sassafras Bridge, the result is spellbinding.

'There was an evil about, skirting like a stone over the ocean that nobody could foresee, because long before Mengele came for their eyes, America already had gone blind."

About this title

About the Author

With his second novel, The White Bridge, Robert has staked his claim to historical psychiatric literary fiction. Using the weapon of parody, fantasy, and the dream-scape of psychological horror, “Robert” investigates history, especially the roots of racism and prejudice in America. A friend to "Rocky and Bullwinkle," the author recognizes what role fractured fairy tales had on his arrested development. A former special educator in the New York Public Schools," Bob" raised two children as a single parent. "Reuven" is proud that his first novel, Ghost Runners, was included in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Currently, he teaches a college course for graduating seniors in advanced topics: the psychology of racism, “Bobby" hopes to complete a trilogy in the near future. A retired teacher and evaluator of children with special needs, “Ruby" swims three or four times a week. He travels frequently to the Southwest and likes being a minority among the Native-Americans. Companion pieces—Ghost Runners, historical fiction about two Jewish runners not allowed to compete in the 1936 Olympics and The White Bridge, about the evils of racism and American capitalism, eugenics and Hitler, baby farms and the culture of lynching; the current novel tests the courage of athlete/soldier heroes, and a journalist in the Jazz Age who must pit her strength against the evil of her times to save the dignity of a lost child.
