They did reconcile, for a number of years, but they have fallen out in the last couple of years, and are currently not speaking. It would have been a great happy ending, but reading the whole thing gave me a view into just how traumatic, troubling, and damaging living through such tumultuous times can be. I don't fault them for falling out again, but the fact that they reconciled for any length of time lent a beauty to the story that was deeply moving. Race need not divide us, and I don't think, at the end, that is the reason they do not speak today, but simply the realities that people deal with things differently and sometimes what one person expects is not something that another is prepared or capable of doing.

A humbling fact. Those two women are reconciled today. A humbling fact.
