I enjoyed the journey of
Angela to open her mind and to obtain the strength to live with her true
feelings even though she knows that she might have to deal with unjust
humiliation by society. This story satisfies one with the very simple truth
that you must love someone as they are. It is also a book that is quite
successful in entertaining readers by describing a number of romantic dates
that were thrilling and luscious. The author’s depiction of sex is sensitive
and beautiful. I learned how to support your partner and how to nourish your
love through Mark’s thoughts and behavior.
Also Mark’s monologue in
this story shows the grief of the people who are discriminated against very
well. He wrote, “Damn, here I go again. Why is it in this country we, I have to
go through this over and over again? Why do I have to be the one teaching
instead of just enjoying, encouraging to make me look like a man? I know who
and what I am, why can’t others see me as such? If you do all the right things,
go to school, make good money, equal in appearance, have strong character, you
still have to prove yourself worthy. Why am I not given the benefit of doubt?”
Mark is not a person with a victim mentality at all. He is a charming and proud
man of a high moral standard.
This story convinces us
that stereotypes about race are totally nonsensical. The review title, “do not
let people tear you down or apart,” is cited in this book. I think this is best
advice not only for interracial couples, but also for the people who love each
other regardless of gender, creed, and nationality.
