Third Side of the Coin

Some friendships plant seeds that outlive the people who sowed them.

In 1980s South Minneapolis, fifteen-year-old Emerson Rapaport -- raised on Scripture and taught to love his neighbor -- welcomes a new family to the block: the Annistars, the only white family in a tight-knit Black community. What starts as an act of hospitality becomes an unbreakable bond between Emerson and his new friend, Global, built on faith, honesty, and a shared belief that the world doesn't have to stay divided.

Then Emerson is gone.

Thirty years later, the friendship he started still ripples outward -- through Global's own troubled path toward ambition and self-destruction, through the brilliant minds he once inspired now chasing breakthroughs in medicine and the stars, and through a fractured family fighting for reconciliation across generations. Marriages strain. Faith is tested. A granddaughter's survival hangs on medicine that shouldn't exist yet. And through it all, one truth keeps surfacing: forgiveness is stronger than the wounds that came before it.

Third Side of the Coin is a sweeping, faith-anchored family saga about the friendships that shape us, the legacies we leave behind, and the grace that outlasts every fracture.

Read it today and discover the third side.
