In this first book in a series, written entirely in rhyming lyrics, "A Conversation Between the Brothers" depicts the stories of African American men senselessly murdered by racist cops and racist individuals in general. Based on true events, this work of fiction brings the murdered brothers together in Heaven (The University) with their Creator (The Master) who closely resembles them in more ways than one. One by one the Master has the unfortunate experience and responsibility of welcoming His sons back home, albeit too soon. It wasn't His plan. As they tell their true and untold stories, the brothers vent about their own memories of how they were murdered on earth. While in the University, the brothers get to know each other through their self-created Hip Hop lyrics as well as through their favorite artists such as Jekalyn Carr, Michael Jackson, and The Great Spike Lee. This first book brings to life the stories of Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Jr., Eric Garner, and George Floyd. The end of the book finds the Master returning to earth to bring back home a very prominent African American man who had substantial experience living in a time when if you were white, you were right, and if you were black, you were expected to stand back. His job will be to educate the brothers about how life on earth was for him, and perhaps why it was the way it was for them. The brothers anxiously await his arrival and wonder............... WHO COULD HE BE?
