We Are Not Like Them

We Are Not Like Them
We Are Not Like Them

Heart-wrenching tale of friendship amidst racial tensions.

"We Are Not Like Them" isn't just a book; it's a journey into the complexities of a lifelong interracial friendship tested by societal upheaval. If you're looking to engage with current societal issues like race and loyalty through deeply human storytelling, this novel offers an emotional and thought-provoking experience that urges introspection and dialogue. It resonates long after the last page, making it a poignant pick for those who appreciate fiction that tackles real-world challenges.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Told from alternating perspectives, this novel follows two women, one Black and one white, whose friendship is indelibly altered by a tragic event. Jen and Riley have been best friends since kindergarten. As adults, they remain as close as sisters, though their lives have taken different directions. Jen married young, and after years of trying, is finally pregnant. Riley pursued her childhood dream of becoming a television journalist and is poised to become one of the first Black female anchors of the top news channel in their hometown of Philadelphia. But the deep bond they share is severely tested when Jen’s husband, a city police officer, is involved in the shooting of an unarmed Black teenager. Six months pregnant, Jen is in freefall as her future, her husband’s freedom, and her friendship with Riley are thrown into uncertainty. Covering this career-making story, Riley wrestles with the implications of this tragic incident for her Black community, her ambitions, and her relationship with her lifelong friend. We Are Not Like Them is both a powerful conversation starter and a celebration of the enduring power of friendship.
