Bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz is one of this country's foremost writers on the ever explosive issue of race. In this gripping and ultimately profound book, Kotlowitz takes us to two towns in southern Michigan, St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, separated by the St. Joseph River. Geographically close, but worlds apart, they are a living metaphor for America's racial divisions: St. Joseph is a prosperous lakeshore community and ninety-five percent white, while Benton Harbor is impoverished and ninety-two percent black. When the body of a black teenaged boy from Benton Harbor is found in the river, unhealed wounds and suspicions between the two towns' populations surface as well. The investigation into the young man's death becomes, inevitably, a screen on which each town projects their resentments and fears. The Other Side of the River sensitively portrays the lives and hopes of the towns' citizens as they wrestle with this mystery--and reveals the attitudes and misperceptions that undermine race relations throughout America.

Halfway Across the River is a compilation of fascinating stories that detail Dr. Annette Childs's nearly twenty years of work with they dying. From deathbed visions, to messages sent from beyond the veil, these poignant tales offer a perfect blend of truth, mystery, and wonder. Readers will find themselves misty with emotion one moment, and dissolving into laughter the next. Indeed, Halfway Across the River achieves a nearly perfect balance between the mundane and the extraordinary. The true accounts Dr. Childs describes are meant to bring peace to the dying, hope to the grieving, and true food for thought to the rest of us. Halfway Across the River evolved in response to the unlikely relationship between Dr. Childs and Don Borwhat. Mr. Borwhat was the skeptical husband of one of Annette's dear friends, Margaret, who died in 2006. For years Don had sarcastically referred to Annette as the Godwoman' due to the skeptical eye he cast toward what he calls the foo foo' philosophies that she shared with his dying wife. After Margaret's death, Don's world is turned upside down by an extraordinary foo foo' event, the type he had spent his entire adult life scorning. As his previous worldview crumbled around him, he was left no choice but to sheepishly approach Dr. Childs for a bit of spiritual tutelage. Dons cantankerous attitude is a fine balance to the ethereal world in which Dr. Childs has one foot firmly planted. Let the Godwoman and the skeptical businessman take you along on their journey toward understanding the astonishing messages that Don's beloved wife Margaret, so eloquently sends to him from the other side. It is a ride you will not soon forget!
