Talking in their beds, they discuss their strong mothers and their absent fathers, and they wonder about the paths their lives will take. Yet during the day, Evie is blind to their differences-that she is white and her best friend is black. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNight Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, Elizabeth Cox tells a moving story about two girls who, though they grew up in the same house, reflect the alternate realities of white and black society. They are influenced by both the massive social changes sweeping the country during the Civil Rights years, and by our extraordinary human capacities for fear and hate and love. But in the end, it is the world they share under cover of darkness, through their candid nighttime conversations, that proves to be the strongest force of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Cox\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of four novels: \u003ci\u003eNight Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFamiliar Ground\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Ragged Way People Fall Out of Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Slow Moon\u003c\/i\u003e; a collection of stories, \u003ci\u003eBargains in the Real World\u003c\/i\u003e; and a collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eI Have Told You and Told You\u003c\/i\u003e.
