But when she, a white woman, fell in love with a Korean American man, she quickly learned a tough lesson: When it comes to navigating the landscape of interracial love in America today . . . youre going to step on some landmines.
At turns introspective and outrageous, Kissing Outside the Lines is Farrs unapologeticoften hilariouslook at the complexities of interracial/ethnic/religious/what-have-you love, told through the lens of her own experience of dating, marrying, and creating a family with someone from a race and culture different from her own.
