It's not often that a book causes me
... to look at myself in a different light. You know, get into the characters, make their issues your own.......and put your twist and turns in before turning the page. Unexpected Interruptions touches the topic of interracial relationships; with the tag line be careful what you ask for...You just might get it. At the end of this 279 page ride, the relationship between Victoria Small, Ted Thornton and Parker Brightwood I found myself questioning could I? Could I date, fall in love and find myself in an emotional turmoil between a successful black male and a successful white male?
Victoria found herself torn, making excuses, denying reality and simply fighting the truth. This struggle as shown in this sophisticated writing demonstrates when emotions run wild.....there is no color barrier. As she puts up barriers, her see through reasons not to love Ted Thornton she finds her walls of support were weak while dating Parker Brightwood. I loved the author's humor, honesty and thought provoking conversations posed between the main characters. Victoria's teetering between two men, the views from her family and friends, and the jealousy of others gives the book life. Any woman who has dated outside of their race has been Victoria. Any woman who has fallen in love and carried pain is Victoria. Any woman who has been swept off her feet is Victoria.......and if love is often confusion between your libido, emotions, and common sense.....you could be Victoria. I was pleased to find that Trice painted love without a color line. Ted Thornton and Parker Brightwood were men, educated, employed and totally in love with Victoria Small. Love has no limits, no barriers, no color.........but in this novel love comes with Unexpected Interruptions.
