AUTHOR NWANGANGA SHIELDS: A YOUNG LOVE
Author Nwanganga Shields writes a story of about interracial lovers in her book A Tear and A Smile: A Love Story
Love is in the air between the two lovers, Cece and Clint. Clint is the son of Nigerian immigrants who eventually became a successful criminal law attorney and lives a normal life in Washington. Cece, on the other hand, is the daughter of a successful family. Clint’s father may disagree with him dating a white girl, but that will not stop him from falling in love with her.
“These are not broadly drawn cartoon symbols of hate but rather nuanced people, the so-called racists next door. Through their loving yet hating eyes, the story shows how observations and anecdotes get generalized into prejudices and perceived truths across generations. Likewise, when presented through the guise of loving parents wanting to protect their children from harsh futures, the story doesn’t give harbor to hate.” says Jordana Landsman in her book review for Nwanganga Shield’s A Tear and A Smile: A Love Story.
