an enjoyable look at intercultural relationships

In searching for ways to help me understand my relationship with my Kenyan boyfriend better, I (American) turned to books about intercultural relationships. This was the first one I read. It is very encouraging. It is full of other people's stories and experiences in being in an intercultural relationship. They describe issues that came up in their relationship - some which were expected and some which were total surprises - and how they worked through those issues. They are real life stories, so they don't all live happily ever after. I enjoyed reading the happy stories of the couples who were able to make their relationships work despite their differences. It was also helpful to know about the couples who did not stay together, and what happened to them that made them end their relationship.

Excellent book on Tolerance

I enjoyed reading this book. Anyone who is in a relationship with someone of a different background whether it's religious, racial, or ethnic will appreciate this book. Even individuals who maybe contemplating a relationship that fosters differences will have a better understanding. Subtle differences can enhance or create friction in the relationship. This book celebrate differences. I hope everyone will embrace our differences!
