It's Not Black, It's Not White: Being in an Inter-Racial/-Ethnic Marriage - Paperback

by Felicia Portwine (Author), Ronald Portwine (Author)

This book is God-Ordained, predestined for you to read. Being in an interethnic relationship is harder than it looks. Not from the inside, but from the outside. In this book, Ronald and Fe reveal their journey of over 35 years of marriage, although different ethnicity, as soulmates. No one could have told Fe she would be in an interethnic relationship, especially a MARRIAGE!!! But according to Ron, as everyone knows him, he already knew this to be his destiny, with Felicia. However, here we are 35 plus years later; two daughters and a beautiful granddaughter. Living life with someone outside your ethnicity is very challenging. I want to pause and reiterate regarding the challenges; it's not from the relationship itself but from the world's view. Outsiders looking in! I'm not saying it has been easy on the inside either, although very doable. These 35 plus years have taught us a lot about who we are as well as who people (outsiders) are. Over the years we have grown together, cried together, and laughed together. A lot of laughs! But most importantly we have LOVED together. So come along and open your hearts and minds in understanding that it's not the outside that determines who we are but merely the inside. Let's be open and not limited in the way we view the "Human Race" whether black, white or somewhere in between. Love is Love and there are no boundaries. This is our journey.
