Critics Review
“In a racist world, African Americans always walk a tightrope. The narrowest of these strands carries the true gentleman across the pitfalls of self-indulgent black rage and self-immolating Uncle Tomness. Chester Pierce has made that difficult traverse all his life without a misstep, but his ‘natural regality’ would never have permitted him to tell us how he kept his balance. Fortunately, in this dialogue with his spirited young colleague Ezra Griffith, we discover how he managed this passage. There is wisdom here for people of all races about how to live both with passion and with amazing grace.”–Alan A. Stone, past president, American Psychiatric Association
