Summary: Not a full account
Review: This book is not a full account of inter-racial love. Rather this book is only for white women who love black men, which makes it a very slanted account. Probably it is a good resource for this specific circumstance. Unfortunately this book does not examine all the white men who date black women or Mexican women. In these circumstances the children are not as affected by stigma and do not have the same issues of children of white women and black men. Thus this book didn't help answer my questions and probably wont help any men with their issues surrounding inter-racial dating. Seth J. Frantzman

Summary: Who read my mail?
Review: This should be a required read for counselors, pastors, and persons considering interracial marriage, as well as their families. It will serve to explode myths, help both biological and adoptive parents, and heal racial divisions.
I liked this book because reading it was like seeing my life on paper. Although having your "mail read" can be an uncomfortable experience--the book raised issues I'd rather forget, or not deal with at all--the confrontation was necessary. Never have I had my frustrations more clearly articulated, my wounds so carefully bound, or my prejudices so carefully confronted and corrected. I laughed out loud while being given excellent advice on how to respond to the curious, and I wept with a Native American brother as his layers of anger were peeled away...I appreciated the authors just calling prejudice what it is so that we all can DEAL with it, and move on to live more meaningful lives. I have "my" copy and my "loan" copy because this book will serve as an important resource to help me answer my children's questions as well as the questions of those in our circle of influence. I consider it to be one of the most useful additions to my personal library.
