Corinne and Me

An Unlikely Friendship

By: Betty Ann Hoehn

Corinne and Me: An Unlikely Friendship" is a story of an abiding friendship that crossed racial lines, an unbreakable bond that developed against the odds. We came from different worlds-Corinne from the poor, black section of Memphis, me from a wealthy white family in Memphis that forged success from the automobile business. But we came together in a place that knows no boundaries. We met in the heart. I grew up in Memphis in the 1960s, a decade of tremendous turmoil in our country. Corinne came to work for my family in 1959 when I was five years old. We developed a friendship the moment she lifted me off the ground and sat me on the kitchen counter to tell me about the pearly gates of Heaven. From that point on she became my spiritual teacher, my comforter, and my protector. Our unbreakable bond surpassed the turmoil of the times. And though years have passed and she is no longer here, she remains my conscience. "Corinne and Me: An Unlikely Friendship" not only addresses segregation among races, but segregation among mankind as a whole. It addresses the impact addiction has on families, the havoc it wreaks from one generation to the next. It addresses the impact of the loss of loved ones, as well as the mistake we so too often make by not saying "I love you" or "thank you" to those we love. People who have lived such experiences will discover there is hope.
