― Fire in the Whole: Embracing Our Righteous Anger with White Christianity and Reclaiming Our Wholeness
“There's a lot my parents and I don't talk about, that we can't talk about. When we've tried over the years, the conversations inevitably end in misunderstandings, tears, and an ever-widening distance.
