About this ebook
Synopsis: A widowed white woman in a black community has a falling out with her neighbor.
After Dinner Conversation believes humanity is improved by ethics and morals grounded in philosophical truth. Philosophical truth is discovered through intentional reflection and respectful debate. In order to facilitate that process, we have created a growing series of short stories, audio and video podcast discussions, across genres, as accessible examples of abstract ethical and philosophical ideas intended to draw out deeper discussions with friends and family.
Podcast discussion of this short story, and others, is available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and Youtube.
