About
Daniel and Anna gave up family, friends, even country, to make a life together. How would their love survive the decades of change? Their forty-two-year marriage spanned key historical periods of the 20th century and took them from Indiana to Mexico City. There, for the first time, Daniel could work in the profession he'd been educated for. Freed from U.S. racism, he felt "as Mexican as chile verde." Meanwhile, Anna, a reserved blond woman who struggled with speaking Spanish, experienced no similar sense of liberation. Before It Was Legal is not a happily-ever-after story, but an honest portrayal of the love and hurt two people, not just a bi-racial couple, may encounter in an intimate r
elationship. It is the story of an independent white woman, a talented black man, and the times in which these two remarkable people lived.
