Summary: An enjoyable read.
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely. I previously believed that the Taylor/Haizlip story was somewhat snobby, with two daughters who went to Yale, and the big beautiful houses they lived in, yadda yadda yadda, but in reading this book, I realized that this was not the case. They have struggled and perservered. I especially enjoyed Harold's story and "getting to know him". I sort of knew Shirlee's story since I read The Sweeter the Juice, and it was really nice to read of how they fell in love, and most importantly, how they've remained in love along with their other trials and tribulations. This book definitely has it all. I was pleased to actually have something that I actually wanted to read on the train to and from work. I also must say that the segments outlining Shirlee's driving adventures had me laughing out loud, too! I highly recommend this book, and wish it didn't end.

Summary: Uplifting story of the Longevity of Love
Review: This is a wonderful story about two people who meet, fall in love and marry. But the story does not end there. It is not a fairy tale. The authors share their story of life, love, hardships and experience during their marriage.I like the way the book is written in alternate turns of the wife's voice, then the husband's voice. As the adage goes, "There are two sides to the story." I enjoyed reading each spouse's version. If you've ever wondered what goes on in a successful marriage, this book provides you with one couple's story. Fafa Demasio

Summary: Uplifting story of the Longevity of Love
Review: This is the story of two people who found love and friendship and strength in their life together. It is funny and inspiring and at times gut wrenchingly sad. I couldn't put it down.

Summary: This memoir was exciting and inspiring, hard to put down.
Review: When I first heard about this book I was skeptical. What on earth could these two people - two black people - tell me about marriage. The book offered no titilating sex and no violence. It was all about love. Loving yourself, your spouse, your family and life. The Haizlips have had an incredible life together. Charmed may be a better word to describe their marriage. What I liked most about the book was the message: life is what you make it. I found myself rethinking about a lot of times when I have complained about little things; not appreciated people I loved, and have been afraid to take risks. As we all know, love and marriage are risky, but it was such a pleasure to read about a couple who willingly dived right in and showed me just what a marriage could and should be.

Review: Who do these people think they're kidding? They have an interracial marriage (two opposing phenotypes - European (hers) and Negroid (his). They should admit it.
