Publisher's Synopsis
"You are not half of anything. You are whole. You are not confused. You are complex. You do not have to pick sides. You are both-and more."
Beyond Black and White is a powerful guide for interracial couples and multiracial families who are building love and legacy in the face of cultural division and generational trauma.
Written by Elijah L. Cooley, a Black man, and Heather D. Cooley, a white woman, this book is part testimony, part manual, and all truth. It offers real tools, lived wisdom, and heart-opening guidance for navigating communication, trust, intimacy, parenting, and healing across race.
Inside, you'll discover:
The emotional layers Black men carry and how to love them through it
How white women can become conscious, safe partners without guilt or fragility
Tools for navigating cultural conflict, family opposition, and societal judgment
Guidance on raising biracial children with clarity, confidence, and pride
How to turn pain into power and love into generational transformation
This book is for:
Interracial couples seeking tools and language for deeper connection
Parents of biracial children in need of guidance and clarity
Individuals ready to confront racial trauma in relationships
Anyone committed to love that does not erase identity, but honors it
You don't have to choose between truth and connection.
This book will help you build both.
