TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

by Carolyn See, John Espey

John Espey and Carolyn See have so little in common it's a phenomenon. They are not from the same social class, the same region, the same religion, or even the same generation. But the unlikely, exhilarating truth is that some years ago they pooled their resources and joined forces. This book tells how they did it.
