Publisher Description
New York Times Bestseller
In a divided country desperate for unity, two sons of South Carolina show how different races, life experiences, and pathways can lead to a deep friendship—even in a state that was rocked to its core by the 2015 Charleston church shooting.
Tim Scott, an African-American US senator, and Trey Gowdy, a white US congressman, won’t allow racial lines to divide them. They work together, eat meals together, campaign together, and make decisions together. Yet in the fall of 2010—as two brand-new members of the US House of Representatives—they did not even know each other. Their story as politicians and friends began the moment they met and is a model for others seeking true reconciliation.
In Unified, Senator Scott and Congressman Gowdy, through honesty and vulnerability, inspire others to evaluate their own stories, clean the slate, and extend a hand of friendship that can change your churches, communities, and the world.

Unified
This was a very good book. it gives good ideas on how to solve problems without hate and anger. You have to understand before you are understood. Sometimes we have to listen
Unifying
What a truly motivational book. We have a tendency to become wrapped in our safe little worlds where everything is similar and known. Tim Scott and Trey Gowdy speak of reaching out and meeting new and different people to better your life and our societies. I respect both of these men and will try to do as they have suggested. Great read!

Finally, two men with a common sense approach, and men who seem to put the goodwill of mankind above a dollar!
