We are not like them

 

We are not like them / Christine Pride & Jo Piazza read by Marin Ireland, Shayna Small, Kevin R Free, & Chante McCormick, 315 pgs.

Jen and Riley have been best friends since kindergarten.  Riley is now a successful television journalist and Jen is married to a cop, pregnant and a receptionist.  Despite their different levels of education and income, Riley is black and Jen is white.  Despite a lot of differences, they still have their shared past and are still best friends.  Then Jen's husband is involved in a shooting where a young black boy is killed.  Now the differences are even more pronounced. This story follows each main character from her perspective and gives us insight into the issues each face. The audio is well done by a cast of narrators.
