Summary

In this stirring book, two friends -- a black minister and a white businessman -- discuss candidly the hang-ups, stereotypes and sins that inhibit interracial friendships. They hash out their differences, giving voice to feelings many readers have had but would never express out loud. The result is a book that provokes thought, arouses emotion, and ultimately spurs action, stressing the most effective way of dealing with the many facets of racial reconciliation is through real and connected friendships.
