An innocent black man sent to prison by a crooked white cop...and now they are friends showing the world what true reconciliation--not rage--looks like. Speaking directly to recent headlines and cultural tensions, this poignant account documents racial healing between two men who had every reason to never speak to one another, much less forgive and become friends. The redemptive story takes place in the racial powder keg of Benton Harbor-St. Joseph, Michigan. The book reveals the fascinating back story of two men growing up just miles apart in two different worlds, how their stories intertwined, the potential for violence and revenge that their relationship predicted, followed by a miraculous healing and reconciliation. In the most compelling revealing fashion, this is the redemptive power of Christ and the gospel.

Jameel McGee and Andrew Collins live in Michigan and make joint speaking appearances to encourage their message of racial reconciliation. They are also making plans for a joint Reconciliation Project to promote healing in the areas of community-police relations, post prison re-entry, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, and marriage. McGee works for Emergency Shelter Services, a program designed to help homeless people find sustainable housing. Collins is now a licensed pastor ministering to youth as a part of Young Life.
