[first stripe] Ruth is a nurse who lives in a good neighbourhood, with a son of whom she could not be more proud. Kennedy is a lawyer who prides herself on the work she does with disadvantaged minorities. Turk is a man who believes in the ultimate supremacy of the white race - devastated by the tragic death of his newborn son.[second stripe] As a grieving father cries for justice, the hospital seeks a scapegoat: and Ruth could lose everything she has worked so hard to build.[third stripe]There is a fire raging, and we have two choices: we can turn our backs, or we can try to fight it. Yes, talking about racism is hard to do, and yes, we stumble over the words - but we who are white need to have this discussion among ourselves. Because then, even more of us will overhear, and - I hope - the conversation will spread.Author's Note[fourth stripe]'This is a writer who understands her characters inside and out.'Roxane Gay, NYT
