Chantel's life was perfect before Eric shoved himself into it, and she is desperate to keep it that way. Eric couldn't agree more. Chantel is a risk he's never had the courage to take, and he's built a philosophy on staying away from "her kind". But staying away from her is harder than he counted on, and that is starting to become a problem. Or rather a beautiful disaster waiting to happen, when loving someone is a choice between who you really are and the person she makes you want to be. Grey is an interracial romance between a troubled Caucasian man who is involved in a white supremacist "brotherhood, and an African American woman, who is an honors student and obsessive perfectionist. The story follows the journey of accepting cultural differences, and learning to love for what's within, rather than for what's on the outside. It is also a story about coming of age as a young adult, and establishing one's self-identity in a world where stereotypes, racism, and prejudices warp the perceptions of other people, especially groups that are outside of mainstream American society. Against preexisting stereotypes, the characters fight for the right to define themselves, rather than accept how others choose to define them. This story is not just about race or romance, but raises social questions and values that everyone can relate to, no matter what cultural group they belong to.
