Indeed, First Northeastern Bank (1NEB) must atone for years of redlining and racial bias in its mortgage lending. Thus Teddy negotiates agreements with two activist groups that champion fair mortgage lending practices for African Americans. But sinister forces, both internal and external, arise to block Teddy's efforts and make his life miserable as the bank's in-house politician. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis novel-both funny and keenly serious-is filled with characters who are true believers.
