But Belle has a secret, one she must protect at all costs. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene but Belle Marion Greener. She is the daughter of Richard Greener, the first Black graduate of Harvard and a well-known advocate for equality. Belle’s complexion isn’t dark because of her alleged Portuguese heritage that lets her pass as white—her complexion is dark because she is African American.
The Personal Librarian tells the story of an extraordinary woman, famous for her intellect, style, and wit, and shares the lengths she must go to—for the protection of her family and her legacy—to preserve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which she lives.
Tina Urman brings a creative approach to learning by integrating her knowledge of art and literature with a teaching background. For many years she has been a volunteer gallery guide at the Art Gallery of Ontario and continues to teach courses at the University of Toronto, School of Continuing Studies. In addition she presents literary reviews to various private and public groups both within and outside of the city.
Tina further combines her skill and passion for art and literature with Novel Inspirations Tours to New York City at which time she leads groups and provides the opportunity to explore the various museums and galleries while making literary connections to the art.
The importance of charity work is always part of Tina’s focus from raising funds for Breast Cancer Research to supporting Save a Child’s Heart and One Family Fund in Israel. Her most recent incentive was to begin Shop to Share a way in which to help women and their children escaping abusive relationships as a result of Covid with much needed food and supplies.
