Hi everyone. I'm not really new to this forum. I'm an American and I was here about 2005 when I married my first husband from Ghana, W. Africa. Things have fallen apart between us though and we're no longer together. Right now I am seeing another Ghanaian guy who I have known for a few years and we are very much in love. I was wondering if there are any books, preferrably novels or memoirs, about marrying an African man? Or in general marrying a man from another culture? It would just be encouraging to read about a relationship of this sort that worked out for the best. Thanks. :)

If you go to your local library I'm sure they have some historic information that will be a wealth of help for you too peep into their history, then dig around online.
