Summary
Washington Post reporters Hamilton and Brown became a news story themselves when Hamilton's donation of a kidney to Brown became a symbol of their interracial friendship in a racially divided society. In this joint memoir, they describe the development of their friendship, the decision to donate, the operation itself, and the reaction of other people to the story.
