Kissing Outside the Lines

Diane Farr--"Numb3rs" star, "Loveline" veteran, and FunnyorDie.com contributor--always took for granted that she could love anybody she chose. 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 . . . you're going to step on some landmines. At turns introspective and outrageous, "Kissing Outside the Lines" is Farr's unapologetic--often hilarious--look 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. Along the way, she exposes the many ways in which prejudice rears its ugly head--whether subtly or overtly--when you dare to love "outside the lines," and she shares the stories of other multiracial couples from different corners of the U.S. who have made a similar leap. "Kissing Outside the Lines" tackles love, family, and prejudice head-on. With sharp wit and deft humor, Farr confronts the fears and reservations that come with loving outside of one's race, and she emerges with a powerful message: Love is love and family is family--no matter what it looks like from the outside. "Kissing Outside the Lines" also includes an 8-page black-and-white photo signature.
