ABOUT THE BOOK
Kevin and Katherine have an unconditional love that transcends the test of time, but they are forever conscious of their differences and the effect and impact their relationship has on their loved ones. Although rising stars and achieving great success in their careers, they come from different worlds. Kevin’s world is one of rich white people of privilege where men are head of household and married to slim, beautiful blonde women.
Katherine’s world is the middle to upper middle class African American community where good-looking men are defined by beautiful dark skin and pearly white teeth. Dark skinned men are all the rage, while light skinned men are out of style. Within Katherine’s circle, a black woman marrying a white man would be looked upon as a disaster. In Kevin’s world, considering marrying a black woman would be intolerable and could have a negative impact on his career.
Yet, could it work out between them? Against all odds, could they ultimately be happy together? Kevin and KatheRINe in the Next Lifetime delves into a world where attractiveness and beauty (defined in a specific society) may not be what brings people together. Instead, it is a feeling, an undeniable connection, that makes an individual attractive—even at first sight—and how this could happen between two people from different worlds.

Shilpa is an African American artist who paints incredible landscapes using the color blue because of its meaning and how it shows the splendor and magnificence of the world’s beauty. She is one of very few black people born with piercing ocean blue eyes. It was a curse growing up, which caused her to become introverted, shy, and lonely.
Shilpa never had more than a few friends. However, they were true and loving and wanted her to open herself up to meeting someone special. Now her life has taken a turn, and Shilpa’s adoring friends find themselves in life or death trouble. Shilpa vows to protect them in any way she can. However, at times, she retreats to a dream world where she has a loving and adoring husband, beautiful children, and security.
Strangely, this is an unexpected fantasy family that she never would have chosen for herself, but this dream world allows her wonderful happiness, joy, and contentment. Will Shilpa retreat forever to this world of make believe—this alternative universe, where everything seems real—or will she continue to fight for her friends in the world in which she lives?
