[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great collection of stories of cross-cultural couples. Some of them overcome their differences; some of them do not. I (American) read this before marrying my African husband. It was helpful to see what caused others' failures and what contributed to the success of cross-cultural relationships.

Feel good collection of anecdotes. Encouraging. Not a whole lot of new info, but a pleasant, quick read.
