Summary:

"When Fly and Stela meet in twenty-first-century New York City, it seems like fate. He's a Black American musician from a mixed-religious background who knows all about heartbreak. She's a Catholic science teacher from the Caribbean looking for lasting love. But are they meant to be? The answer goes back decades--all the way to their parents' earliest loves ... Monster in the Middle moves across decades, from the continental United States to the Virgin Islands to Ghana and back again, to show how one couple's romance is intrinsically influenced by the family lore and love stories that preceded their own pairing"--Dust jacket flap.
