The
Conversation: How Black Men and Women
Can Build Loving, Trusting Relationships
by Hill Harper
 The
Conversation Introduction
In his first book for adults, New York Times bestselling author Hill Harper
invites you to join the Conversation: an honest dialogue about the breakdown of
African-American relationships. For generations African Americans have turned to
their families in times of need—but now, this proud and strong legacy is in
peril. Black men and women have stopped communicating effectively and it
threatens the very relationships and marriages necessary to sustain the Black
family.
Today, less than a third of Black children are being raised in
two-parent households, a sharp decline from past generations. So, why is it so
difficult for Black men and women to build long-term, loving and mutually
beneficial relationships? What is happening in the community that makes it so
hard for women and men to find their way to each other? And why are there so few
people who manage to hold a marriage together, even after finding a person to
love?
In his moving yet practical book, Hill Harper undertakes a journey both
universal and deeply personal in search of answers to these questions. He has
conversations with friends and strangers—married, single and divorced—and
learns about their private struggles, emotional vulnerabilities, and real
concerns, and begins to see common themes emerge. As his journey picks up
momentum, Hill begins to recognize his own struggles in other people's stories,
and is encouraged to more deeply examine his own relationship issues.

Why
does so much misinformation and mistrust exist between the sexes? Hill
addresses the stereotypes that have developed in the Black community, in the
hope that by addressing the challenges, Black men and women can find their way
to common ground. The Conversation aims to open up the lines of communication,
and offers inspiration to those who want to take control of this crisis and
start building successful, sustainable relationships.
