Synopsis

From Premiership footballer Curtis Fleming, to Lorna, who longed to live in America, this book introduces the reader to a wide vareity of people of mixed-race parentage.

Amongst those featured are: Andrew: Born in Kenya to a South African mother and English father, he lives in Birmingham; Lorna: She yearned for America as a child, and in her mid-30s she left London for Miami; Curtis: Born in Manchester, he has spent years in England as a professional footballer, but he still sees Dublin, where he grew up, as home; Anne: Daughter of a German mother and a Nigerian father, she was ostracised in a predominately white area of north-west London, but now she lives in the country; Lisa: A bright and popular shop assistant, Lisa's adoptive parents and natural mother are dead; she believes her natural father was Ghanaian; and Ian: Celebrated as "the first coloured policeman in Ireland", Ian experiences confusion about his identity.
