We Are Not Like Them by Christine Pride and Jo Piazza

This book is co-written by a black and a white author and is one of the most authentic books I have ever read on the theme of race. Riley and Jen are life long friends who are tested when Jen's police officer husband is responsible for the shooting death of a black fourteen-year-old. The nuances of both perspectives are so beautifully written and strike such a chord when you read them. As a white woman I saw some behaviors and thinking that I need to change as a result of reading this story. Every human being should read this book.
