A book to help heal the divide
This book began with something deeply personal — a family that slowly drifted apart over politics. For nearly ten years, conversations that once felt easy became difficult. With many strong-willed personalities involved, even the smallest disagreements could quickly spiral into arguments where neither side was really listening anymore.
At first, the idea was simple: create a short video that explained some basic political concepts and the ways media can shape how we see events. But it soon became clear that a complex topic like this needed more space than a few minutes on a screen — especially when trying to reach people who may already feel certain about what they believe.
What started as an attempt to reach a small circle of family members eventually grew into something that felt worth sharing more widely. Many people today are experiencing the same tensions with friends or relatives, often wondering how conversations became so divided.
This book is for anyone who wants to better understand why that divide exists, how language and media framing can influence the way we see each other, and who benefits when people stay locked in opposing camps. Through a simple story, it aims to make these complicated ideas easier to see — even for younger readers or those just beginning to explore politics.
If you or someone in your life has ever struggled to make sense of politics or the way media frames the news, Red Ball Blue Ball was written as a simple guide to help make those patterns easier to see. You can take a look at the book on Amazon.
