Two mothers

Evie Adams was beaten by her husband, but she never submitted.

Sharon Evans has a happy marriage, more than thirty years now.

Evie raised three boys on her own. No husband. No extended family.

Sharon has three children. They have a loving father and a large family of aunts, uncles and cousins who care about one another.

Evie loves to cook and bake. Her specialties include spaghetti and apple pie.

Sharon loves to cook. Her mouth-watering beef stew is the best.

Evie lives in Chicago and works for an insurance firm.

Sharon lives in the town of Moline. She's a registered nurse.

Evie's son loves Sharon's daughter. Through their marriage, two mothers come together. And they find that in spite of their differences--family, geography, occupation, race--they can become good friends.

One is black. One is white. Can you guess which is which? Are you sure?
