It's Official: THE CONVERSATION a New Book by Hill Harper Grabs the #2 Spot on the New York Times Bestsellers List!
NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Since Hill Harper's THE CONVERSATION: How Black Men and Women Can Build Trusting Relationships (Gotham Books, $22.50) hit the shelves on September 8, it began to spark honest dialogues about the crisis in African American relationships across the nation. So much so that publisher Gotham Books ordered a 20,000 reprint after just two days in stores! Based on one week's sales THE CONVERSATION will be #2 on the New York Times national bestseller list which will be in the paper on Sunday, September 27.
Appearing on several major shows across the country in its first week of release, including "The Wendy Williams Show," "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," and "CNN Newsroom," as well as being Essence Magazine's first nonfiction book club pick, Harper managed to bring a very realistic number to America's attention: Only 34% of African-American children today are raised in two-parent households -- down from 1966, when 85% of black children were raised by two parents. Harper brings a variety of issues out of the shadows in THE CONVERSATION.
Sharing stories from couples in all stages of relationships -- from throes of new love to 50-year long marriages, Harper dissects what goes wrong, and what can go right, in the relationships African Americans are having today.
