In his first book for adults, New York Times bestselling author Hill Harper invites you to join the Conversation: an honest dialogue about the breakdown of African—American relationships. For generations African Americans have turned to their families in times of need—but now, this proud and strong legacy is in peril. Black men and women have stopped communicating effectively and it threatens the very relationships and marriages necessary to sustain the Black family. Today, less than a third of Black children are being raised in two—parent households, a sharp decline from past generations. So, why is it so difficult for Black men and women to build long—term, loving and mutually beneficial relationships? What is happening in the community that makes it so hard for women and men to find their way to each other? And why are there so few people who manage to hold a marriage together, even after finding a person to love?
In his moving yet practical book, Hill Harper undertakes a journey both universal and deeply personal in search of answers to these questions. He has conversations with friends and strangers—married, single and divorced—and learns about their private struggles, emotional vulnerabilities, and real concerns, and begins to see common themes emerge. As his journey picks up momentum, Hill begins to recognize his own struggles in other people's stories, and is encouraged to more deeply examine his own relationship issues.
Why does so much misinformation and mistrust exist between the sexes? Hill addresses the stereotypes that have developed in the Black community, in the hope that by addressing the challenges, Black men and women can find their way to common ground. The Conversation aims to open up the lines of communication, and offers inspiration to those who want to take control of this crisis and start building successful, sustainable relationships.

The Conversation Hill Harper
After reading this book I have a better understanding why my past relationships haven't worked. I used to think maybe it was something I said or done. When in fact, it could very well had been that the particular man I was involved with had his own inadequacy and insecurities.

Mediocre at best :-(
His insight was nothing revealing. I was very dissapointed. The marriage chapter definitely should have been more insightful. Instead it was just a short blurb of men discussing absolutely nothing pertaining to helping women understand why men drag their feet on marriage. Hill Harper comes across as such an arrogant know it all with a bloated ego. Who died and made him the world's advisor on everything?? He did his race a disservice with this book. There was nothing at all remotely interesting inside of it. Every chapter was a let down. He needs to stick to acting. This was a bore! I want my money back!!
