Diane FarrβNumb3rs star, Loveline veteran, and FunnyorDie.com contributorβalways 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 . . . youβre going to step on some landmines. At turns introspective and outrageous, Kissing Outside the Lines is Farrβs unapologeticβoften hilariousβlook 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 headβwhether subtly or overtlyβwhen you dare to love βoutside the lines,β 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 oneβs race, and she emerges with a powerful message: Love is love and family is familyβno matter what it looks like from the outside.
