Book Description

Harlequin Super Romance February 10, 2009

To Debra Bradley, marriage is being with the man you've always loved--despite the odds. Despite what other people think. And marriage is about family, about protecting your children from a sometimes hostile world.

To her husband, Will Bradley, family is about creating a safe haven. Where it doesn't matter that one of you is white, the other black. Where it's never mattered...

All these years later Will and Debra are still in love, still each other's best friend. They've made a good life for themselves and their children. But their daughter, Angie--pregnant and estranged from the husband she loves--has to discover for herself what family means....

5.0 out of 5 stars Graceful, romantic story of a real modern family, March 24, 2009
By 
Misha C. (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Family Means (Harlequin Super Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Even in this day and age, interracial marriage seems to be one of the last taboos of our society, and it's one which most writers don't care (or dare) to tackle. But Geri Krotow has taken this subject into her capable hands and lovingly created a story that is both true to life and deeply moving. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who yearns for a graceful, realistic tale of a thoroughly modern romance. You won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars timely family drama, February 14, 2009
This review is from: What Family Means (Harlequin Super Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
In Buffalo, New York, Will and Debra Bradley have been married for thirty-five years. However, their interracial marriage has had some conflict lately over their role in the lives of their adult children. Will believes Debra is too involved while she feels he is too removed as their offspring need them because it is not easy being mixed race.

Debra looks back to when they first started to fall in love and what they went through even in Upstate New York. She also helps her daughter Angie cope with an unexpected pregnancy at a time when her child is separated from her spouse and takes care of Will's elderly mother without complaint. Will her husband finally understand his wife does what she does because she loves her extended family and is not motivated by guilt.

This timely family drama is at its best when it focuses on the problems of interracial couples and their children; when the tale flashes back to the early days of the relationship between Will and Debra it loses some of the momentum though it does provide insight into race in America in the 1970s. The characters and their problems seem real as Geri Krotow provides a timely thoughtful contemporary as the offspring of a mixed couple enters the White House.
