This is a VERY short story with an HEA ending. The writing is fairly good, but it could really use a once-over by a good proofreader.My reasoning for giving this only 2 stars is because I felt that this book was extremely preachy on the subject of interracial couples, and ONLY discussed how the white community would react to and treat this couple and her white family. Unfortunately, the fact is that they would encounter the same problems and reactions from the black community as well, but this was never even hinted at in this short story. Fair is fair, if you are going to discuss the problems that interracial relationships have, please don't make one group of people out to be the bad guy when there is, unfortunately, more than one group of people that would be unhappy with the whole situation. Having personal experience with prejudice, I can tell you that it is never one-sided. I just think a story like this causes more problems for race relations in the long run by creating ill-feelings.
