J.d. Williams

The Perfect Paint Job: the Story of One Man's Struggle Against Hatred J.d. Williams

Once Mr. Williams began writing this book, important lessons he'd learned about diversity began to take on even greater meaning. Through the experiences of Trent Taylor Jr., he saw that people's outward attributes are of far less value than what lives in their hearts. By fleshing out his characters, he began to sense that our skin color - that outward "paint job" - is really not the point. We hope that as you turn the pages of this volume, you'll take that same journey of personal discovery the author experienced. Maybe you'll realize that neighbor from a foreign country isn't out to steal your job, he's just trying to make a good life for his children. Maybe you'll break away from the ethnic stereotypes your forebears believed in. Maybe you'll begin to understand that how an individual looks on the outside bears no correlation to the quality of the person within.
