Summary

"What happens when a White woman, Phoebe, conacts a Black woman, Betty, saying she suspects they are connected through slavery? Open to exploring difficult truths and sharing an admiration for Dr. Martin Luther King, they embark on a path toward reconciliation. Each tells her dramatic story--from Betty's experience desegregating her county's only high school, to Phoebe's eventual question to Betty: "How do I begin to repair the harms?" Piecingly honest. Includes a working reparations project which the two women conceived together"--Page [4] of cover.
