Yet Angela is never down for thecount. After moving to Los Angeles, she discovers that beingmultiracial is anything but simple, especially in terms of datingand romance. By turns a comedy of errors and a moving coming-of-age chronicle,Mixed traces one woman’s unforgettable journey to self-acceptanceand belonging.
