Description
A white man and a black woman discover the depth of their differences, and an unexpected bond, in this urban drama.
Edmund, long-divorced and lonely, offers shelter to Careese, who is temporarily homeless. Good intentions on both sides give way to mutual distrust and resentment, but what begins as a clash of language and culture turns into something else entirely.
Told in the two distinct voices of its protagonists, this novel cuts to the bone in dissecting Edmund s and Careese s hidden prejudices, faults and strengths. As their attitudes change, their seemingly simple story becomes a complex exploration of America s unhealed wound.
