When James met Emilienne, he was 17 and ignorant. Emilienne was fierce and full of fight for her rights to be treated just as equally as James was. James, now in his late 60's, tells the story of their love, their struggles and trials and tribulations as an interracial couple navigating a radically liberal lifestyle during the second half of the 20th century. There are many moments in this book that calls out white privilege, if that triggers you, then read something else that cradles your white fragility.
