Hardcover: 288 pages In his first book for adults, New York Times bestselling author Hill Harper invites you to join the Conversation: an honest dialogue about the breakdown of African'American relationships. For generations African Americans have turned to their families in times of need'but now, this proud and strong legacy is in peril. Black men and women have stopped communicating effectively and it threatens the very relationships and marriages necessary to sustain the Black family. Today, less than a third of Black children are being raised in two'parent households, a sharp decline from past generations. So, why is it so difficult for Black men and women to build long'term, loving and mutually beneficial relationships? What is happening in the community that makes it so hard for women and men to find their way to each other? And why are there so few people who manage to hold a marriage together, even after finding a person to love? In his moving yet practical book, Hill Harper undertakes a
journey both universal and deeply personal in search of answers
to these questions. He has conversations with friends and
strangers'married, single and divorced'and learns about their
private struggles, emotional vulnerabilities, and real concerns,
and begins to see common themes emerge. As his journey picks up
momentum, Hill begins to recognize his own struggles in other
people's stories, and is encouraged to more deeply examine his
own relationship issues.
