Through courageous and vulnerable storytelling, Confessions of “Good Girls” seeks to undermine white supremacy by taking a discerning look at how it has shaped the lives of two sisters, J. Ann Craig and Heather Craig-Oldsen.  Powerfully, relatably, and unflinchingly, they reveal embarrassing moments and mistakes they’ve made in their interrace relationships. 

This book creates space for uncomfortable topics like the power of white women’s tears to derail needed conversations on racism and the links between bigotry and homophobia. The sisters offer important conversation starters as they weave together their life experiences, ground these experiences in a deeper historical context, and provide meaningful questions for each chapter. 

Written by well-meaning white women to other well-meaning white people, this book seeks to transform the world, one life, one story, one moment of self-reflection at a time.
