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.

The Yellow
Dedication This is for all the people who had to find out the hard way that family is not who you are blood related to, but to the people who are actively there for you every day and will help you fight when you feel that you have nothing left to give. Thank you to my yellow's, who without I wouldn't be alive right now. You are my family and I will fight forever to keep you safe and happy as you have done for me. Authors Note This book is written as if I were talking directly to you within a conversation, I want you to feel as though you can take part within this conversation so after each chapter there will be a few pages where you can write your responses to the section if you wish. This isn't a true story for some but for others it is just life. Hard, and at times shitty, but we work through it and most times the hard work pays off. I would love to hear your experiences when you write a response that you want me to see, post it on instagram, tag the chapter title, and then @ my account at @booklover7963. I will try to read as much as I can. I look forward to seeing your side of the conversation and hearing your story.Complete

Drizzled (BWWM)
It's the 1950s and interracial love still isn't accepted. Despite that Addy finds herself being relentlessly chased by Blake, the typical all American boy. Due to trying to make this story as historically accurate as I can, there are racial slurs in this narrative. In addition to those there are also mature sexual themes.Complete
Better Than The Movies
In this world, there are some people who get their happily ever afters and others who don't. Those who get their magical fairytale romance, cherish it for as long as it lasts while the others never get to enjoy the wonders of a fairytale. Instead, they are forced to stay inside their hopeless reality and grow old thinking about what they did to deserve never getting their once upon a time. I think those are the ones who wanted it bad enough. They craved a fairytale more than life itself. Devoted their lives to Disney movies and romance books just to be let down by the real world. I think I'm destined to be one of those people. Then he showed up. And fucked up everything I thought I knew.Complete
