Simran likes Tyrone from the moment she spots him in the crowd. He''s gorgeous and he won''t take no for an answer. There''s just one problem. . . Tyrone is black and Simran''s not sure how her family will react. Even though her parents were a ''love match'' and married each other against the wishes of their families, Simran doesn''t think they will approve of her having a black boyfriend, and her nightmare uncles and aunts certainly won''t. Like her cousin Ruby says, it''s the last taboo.
But Simran likes Tyrone too much to walk away, so they face the problems their relationship causes together. But it becomes harder than either of them predicted and when the hatred they encounter escalates into violence, with families and friends turning against each other, Simran and Tyrone are forced to question whether they are strong enough to fight for what they believe in.
