Welcome to my blog! I hope you’re enjoying your hop along the blogosphere with dozens of IR/MC romance authors.
A few months ago, while discussing current events with my young daughter, I explained that it used to be illegal to marry someone of a different race. When she twisted her face in the most perplexed expression, I could only do one thing.

I really admire Sidney Poitier and his wife.…they defied the times and prejudices to have a relationship in the 60’s and 70’s.

Susan, I had no idea their marriage was so strong, I admit, I’m not very well versed in celebrity marriages lol. Thanks for stopping by!
Love the slideshow! All beautiful couples:)
I loved the slideshow. Excerpt for Paul Wall and George Lucas, I didn’t realize that any of the other stars were in diverse marriages.
