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.
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.
