Kissing Outside the Lines - A True Story of Love and Race and Happily Ever After (Paperback)


Diane Farr--Numb3rs star, Loveline veteran, and FunnyorDie.com contributor--always took for granted that she could love anybody she chose. But when she, a white woman, fell in love with a Korean American man, she quickly learned a tough lesson: When it comes to navigating the landscape of interracial love in America today . . . you're going to step on some landmines.
At turns introspective and outrageous, Kissing Outside the Lines is Farr's unapologetic--often hilarious--look at the complexities of interracial/ethnic/religious/what-have-you love, told through the lens of her own experience of dating, marrying, and creating a family with someone from a race and culture different from her own. Along the way, she exposes the many ways in which prejudice rears its ugly head--whether subtly or overtly--when you dare to love outside the lines, and she shares the stories of other multiracial couples from different corners of the U.S. who have made a similar leap.
Kissing Outside the Lines tackles love, family, and prejudice head-on. With sharp wit and deft humor, Farr confronts the fears and reservations that come with loving outside of one's race, and she emerges with a powerful message: Love is love and family is family--no matter what it looks like from the outside.
Kissing Outside the Lines also includes an 8-page black-and-white photo signature.
