Ryan and Richard are two, 5 year old boys, who first meet while playing in a sandbox at the neighborhood park. One black, the other white, they could have been life long friends but their parents, social attitudes and life's incessant conflicts pit them on a collision course of hate and destruction. The story parallels their lives in three segments that cover every six years of their growth and development. Each explores what they have learned at various ages from their teachings and daily experiences.Through it all we learn that joy and pain knows no color line and that the color of blood is that of one thick and consistent red. The character's lives, minds and attitudes are constantly changing throughout the story and it is my hope that after experiencing this book, the reader's minds, lives and attitudes might be changed as well.Based on the TEARS Trilogy novel series.
