Using the filter of the cosmetics industry — what better vantage point than an industry devoted to image? — Campbell tells a compelling tale of a black-white friendship that began in hardship and was destroyed by fear and greed — and of the fallout from this betrayal as it unwound over fifty years. But this is also a wonderful look at the way Big Cosmetics operates to lure women into buying new products — and the way big white-owned conglomerates have changed their hiring practices to grab a new market share — black women with their newly won purchasing power. In the end, however, it is a story of love — love found, betrayed, lost, and renewed; love between parent and child, men and women, and yes, blacks and whites. As in everything Campbell writes, there is a liberating spirit of reconciliation and redemption in What You Owe Me." ******************************************************************************************************************************************************* I accept payment in the form of postal money orders and personal checks.
