BOOK BACK COVER:

Have you ever wondered what it is like for an African American woman or a white man to date or marry interracially?

If so, this book will provide some insights.

Black women are the one group of women least likely to marry outside of their race. There are many reasons for this, some explored within this book; nonetheless, romantic relationships between black women and white men are becoming more commonplace.

This book contains vignettes on the lives of black women who are dating, married to, or divorced from white men. Black women and white men in interracial relationships were interviewed between 2014 and 2017 to learn how they met and how their relationships progressed. These forty interviews offer thought-provoking insights on the lives of those who are willing to cross the racial divide in pursuit of personal happiness.
