The courtship starts during a time when it would have been more popular to murder someone than cross the "color line." Greg searches deep within himself to relate to his feelings about race relations and being married to a black woman. Rebecca, on the other shoe, tells her side of the story with all the conviction and strength of a woman with great virtue and courage.

In The Color of Love we learn of life's trials and tribulations-faith and perseverance- and that true love and change starts on the inside and works it's way out.
