Why Keep Us Divided? (Orr Novels) (Volume 2) Colette D. Orr 1st edition

Daniel and Melah met in college. He is an ?easy on the eyes? Caucasian fella, mixed with Italian. He has jet black hair and olive skin. She is a gorgeous, African American girl with dreamy eyes and afro twists in her hair. Daniel is very good with math and Melah can cook like nobody?s business. They soon discover that helping each other will be the key to surviving college. However, after spending only one evening together, a fire ignited, and they both wanted to become more than just study partners. Unfortunately, no one in their circles were ready to deal with an interracial couple; not at work, not at church, and certainly not at any of their family events. Ultimately, they have to decide if their relationship is worth the numerous obstacles, confrontations, altercations, and missed opportunities they will surely undergo if they decide to stay together, or if it is best to just give each other one last kiss goodbye and go their separate ways. ******************OVERVIEW********************** Undoubtedly, this book contains a lot of controversial topics that will hopefully lead to great discussions and honest self-evaluation of thoughts and beliefs. I hope it inspires you to see that happiness, not skin color, should be the determining factor for entering into and/or supporting interracial relationships. Ultimately, love will conquer all and if two people are meant to be together, nothing and no one will be able to keep them apart. The take away from this novel is that people should be free to love whomever they choose to love.
