Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When Fly and Stela meet in 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. Vibrant and riveting, Monster in the Middle moves across time, from the U.S. to the Virgin Islands to Ghana and back, to show how one couple's romance is intrinsically influenced by the family lore and love stories that preceded their own pairing.
