Sinossi

Accidental Rebel: My Story of Interracial Love and Loss is a poignant and courageous memoir that chronicles Annie Waxman’s journey of love, self-discovery, and resilience against the backdrop of 1960s Kentucky, a time of racial tension and rigid social norms.  
As a popular cheerleader who wants to do the right thing, Annie “accidentally” rebels against her parents’ racist views and the social taboos of the Jim Crow South by falling in love with James, a talented Black basketball player. Their love story, marked by intense challenges—family betrayal, the stress of hiding their relationship, and the realities of a racist, sexist society—culminates in marriage, heartbreak, and eventual divorce due to infidelity and codependence. 
Through years of therapy, Annie heals from the trauma of her experiences and reflects on the courage it took for her and James to defy the odds and love boldly in a world that sought to divide them. Annie’s story shines a light on the profound struggles interracial couples faced during segregation. It also shows how brave couples like Annie and James paved the way for greater acceptance of interracial relationships in twenty-first century America.
