I could not put this book down. It was great story of how race is perceived by most people and to other people it’s not by race, but by social class. The strength to overcome diversity and to live with it was so inspiring. Ruth an African American nurse who went to an Ivy League school to become a nurse works for a hospital that threw her under the bus when a baby dies. Kennedy McQuarrie, a lawyer who gave up to work at a big law firm to work as a public defender so she could have more time for family gets this case and it not only interrupt her career but also the way she sees how society treats other people based on skin color. A white surprimast, Turk up bring was not so easy. His dad left his mom, therefore he finds a farther figure from another guy who happens to introduce him to the White Power Movement where he found acceptance. His story really has a twist at the end and it was comforting to see how his character changes and turns his life around to be more positive to his environment. One of the best parts I liked was at the end of the story when Turk has changed his appearances and brings his daughter to the doctor who is Ruth. Ruth doesn’t recognize Turk, but he says Thank you for everything to her.
