Publisher's Summary
In a divided country desperate for unity, two sons of South Carolina show how different races, life experiences, and pathways can lead to a deep friendship - even in a state that was rocked to its core by the 2015 Charleston church shooting.
Tim Scott, an African-American US senator, and Trey Gowdy, a white US congressman, won’t allow racial lines to divide them. They work together, eat meals together, campaign together, and make decisions together. Yet in the fall of 2010 - as two brand-new members of the US House of Representatives - they did not even know each other. Their story as politicians and friends began the moment they met and is a model for others seeking true reconciliation.
Here, Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy, through honesty and vulnerability, inspire others to evaluate their own stories, clean the slate, and extend a hand of friendship that can change your churches, communities, and the world.

interesting and refreshing to hear
Been a fan of Trey Gowdy and what he's done up on capital hill during some of the tumultuous "investigations" and witchhunts around the Trump administration. Admirable dedication to ensuring a just judicial system and process and the importance of evidence. Great prosecutor and committee chairman. Loved watching his cross examination of Hillary Clinton during the Benghazi hearings. What a sharp mind he has ... but he clearly also has a open heart as evidenced in his deep friendship with Tim. Never heard of Tim Scott before reading this book but what a hero he is to have on Capital Hill. Some of his stories of discrimination that he shares (that he has been subjected to) are appalling but his Christ-like responses is inspiring and humbling to those who want to retaliate. A mix between Jesus and Ghandi ... reconciliation based on friendship, listening and sharing what we all have in common... what an inspiring deep friendship these guys have despite their contrasting social histories ... great to see 2 Christian guys transcending politics , gender , race , religion to bring reconciliation ... what a witness.
