Chief Samson and Reverend Delilah

About the Book

Book Cover Information for “Chief Samson and Reverend Delilah” Is it possible for the three main characters in this book to live in harmony under the same roof? Their diversity is evident from the beginning: Chief Samson, an eighty-five year old Native North American Indian chief, now legally blind; Reverend Delilah, a retired African American Baptist minister, recently hired as Chief Samson’s live in companion: and Mrs. Fancy, a devout Roman Catholic, guarding a secret from her past and working as Chief Samson’s long time housekeeper. This book, while taking a humorous approach to the subject of prejudice, asks relevant questions about getting along in today’s world.
