The Air Between Us by Deborah Johnson

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 drives a white man suffering from mysterious gun shot wounds to the hospital, there are more questions to be answered than which door is the right one to use. There is reason to feel good about events in the end but a lot of secrets to unravel first. Start your discussion with Connelly's words on page 155 about "the air between us".
