Things We Never Say

For as long as she could remember, Ocean Ray has had her fair share of traumatizing experiences. Growing up in Macon, one of the more country towns in Georgia, racism is prevalent, and people of color are still separated from those without it. After the country life takes a toll on her family, they have no choice but to relocate to the Big Apple where diversity is celebrated throughout New York City, but never did Ocean think she would meet the man of her dreams there. Macon taught her to respect her melanin, and ask questions later, but true love has no color. When Logic turns into dust, she falls madly in love with Nick Rizzo. Nick's never dated a black girl before and most definitely never dated a BBW. After meeting a country girl like Ocean, Nick sees that a woman's size has nothing to do with the kind, sweetheart a woman possesses. Nick is book smart, and Ocean has a sixth sense about the streets, and even with all the knowledge in the world, love still can't be taught. When you fall in love, the actions alone are enough, because there will never be enough words to say to explain what true love really is. Will Ocean be the woman of Nick's dreams, breaking down the barriers of color and size, or will their different backgrounds come between the love that they really have for each other? Will Nick Rizzo live up to be the kind Italian Ocean has fallen desperately in love with, or will he prove to be a beautiful disaster in a society that says interracial relationships are wrong?
