Dr. Cooper Connelly and Dr. Reese Jackson are both doctors in Revere, Mississippi - one is white, one is black. One works in the top floors of the Doctor's hospital and one serves clients from the back door. But this is post "Brown v the Board of Education" and changes are on the way. When a 10 year old black child arrives at the hospital with a white man suffering from mysterious gun shot wounds, there are more questions to be answered other than which door is the right one to use. There is reason to feel good about events in the end of the story but a lot of secrets to unravel first. Start your pondering with Connelly's words on page 155 about "the air between us".
