A Black Girl's Love Abroad Memoir
What happens when love takes you farther than you ever imagined?

The Story
Love Beyond Walls is a true memoir of Crystal Price, a Black woman rooted in the DMV, whose unexpected love story takes her across cultures, continents, and expectations.
Follow CiCi, as she falls in love with Oga Buike, a Nigerian man who captures her heart and opens the door to a world far beyond the one she grew up knowing.
