Bucks Quarter Friends are invited to read These Walls Between Us: A Memoir of Friendship Across Race and Class. It’s the story of a 60 year, bi-racial friendship between two women, Wendy Sanford and Mary Norman. As a poor black 15-year-old, Mary meets 12-year-old Wendy when Mary travels by herself to Wendy’s family’s summer home on Nantucket to be the “help.” As their friendship unfolds Wendy awakens to her unconscious participation in white supremacy and white privilege. Published in 2021, the book is written with candor and humility.
