Blind Faith

Patricia Haley, national bestselling author of Nobody's Perfect and No Regrets, returns with a bold and provocative story about two people who follow their hearts and souls into unexpected love. . . Courtney Young is caught between two worlds. The first of her family to attend college, she's made her way through a largely white university on an academic scholarship, while still relating to the Black working class neighborhood she grew up in and returns to every night. Yet though her upbringing exposes her to both races, she feels fully at home in neither. Her cousin introduces her to Roger--handsome, Black, successful, and a born-again believer--and Courtney's friends are immediately convinced she's met her soul mate. But though Courtney knows that Roger is a great catch, her feelings for him don't run as deep as she'd like. Then there's Sebastian Whittington. Wealthy, upper-class, New Englandbred, bi-racial but looking white--the differences between them are too obvious for Courtney to consider him romantically. Only when the two spend time together after graduation does Courtney start to see him through new eyes, cherishing their easy understanding and shared beliefs. But the eyes of the world are less approving, and Courtney's family and friends--even the members of her church--frown on their budding relationship. Now, Courtney must come to grips with the assumptions about race and class that prevail among Blacks and Whites alike if she's to figure out which path is right for her. It'll take courage, strength, and the faith that Courtney has always possessed to walk away from bias and fear, and into the arms of love. . .
