Love as a unique experience is what we make of it individually. Still, how equal and free are we really when it comes to choosing a partner? What do some couples go through, in their daily attempts to simply be together? In this collection of personal essays, authors from different walks of life bravely offer a glimpse into their personal lives. What happens in romantic relationships, once race, differing backgrounds and cultures come into play? Using their own experiences as a point of departure, they embark on a contemplative and often rousing quest to illuminate the question: Can we build a life together in a world still so deeply divided?
