Synopsis Hill Harper has previously penned a pair of popular books dedicated to helping young African-American men and women to deal with the unique challenges they face. Now he brings the genders together for a nationwide conversation to explore and eliminate the communication gaps which have already ruined too many relationships. Harper suggests that blacks in America have been able to endure so much hardship and oppression because they traditionally had a strong family unit to support them when society did not. Now that blacks have finally begun to acquire some semblance of equality, the family structure is beginning to dissolve, as more and more African-American children are being raised in single-parent homes. Harper identifies the communicative barriers which have created this pattern of dissension between black romantic partners, and outlines the simple changes which every couple should make to communicate better and strengthen their relationship.
