Alan's wife Suzanne had no intention of being involved, but slowly, through phone calls and letters, she began to empathize and understand him. That Cecil and Suzanne eventually became such close friends—a white middle-class woman and a Black man who grew up devoid of advantage—is a testament to perseverance, forgiveness, and love, but also to the notion that differences don’t have to be barriers. This book recounts a fifteen-year friendship and how trust and compassion were forged despite the difficult circumstances, and how Cecil ended up ministering more to Suzanne’s family than they did to him. The story details how Cecil maintained inexplicable joy and hope despite the tragic events of his life and how Suzanne, Alan, and their two daughters opened their hearts to a man convicted of murder. Cecil Johnson was executed Dec. 2, 2009.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmAuthor: Suzanne Craig RobertsonContributor: Bill Moyers (Preface by), Sister Helen Prejean (Foreword by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
