Brothers and Sisters: A Novel (Explores the Intricacies of Experience, Knowledge and Bias Which Perpetuate Inequalities and Segregated Lives) LARGE PRINT

Set in the white-hot center of racially troubled Los Angeles, Brothers and Sisters is the story of Esther Jackson, an African-American who has built a promising career at a downtown bank. When a black man is hired as senior vice-president, Esther is heartened - until his interest in a white bank officer percolates into sexual harassment and Esther is forced to choose sides. She must rethink her life and vision of the American dream even further when a looting of bank accounts casts suspicions along racial lines. With a view both compassionate and honest, Campbell probes the hearts and minds of whites as well as people of color. Campbell's intriguing cast of characters reveal the fears and hopes of people caught in a web of shrinking opportunities and institutionalized stereotypes of race, class and gender. Adroitly using the great racial divide of Los Angeles, this absorbing novel explores the intricacies of experience, knowledge and bias which perpetuate inequalities and segregated lives.
