The two shared an apartment in Nashville until the pressures of being in an interracial relationship made Tesh throw in the towel. According to The NY Daily News Kelley accounts of the events are that the “social pressure” on an interracial couple in Tennessee at that time proved too much for Tesh to handle. “He said one night he looked down and saw his white body next to her black body and couldn’t take it anymore,” another Tesh ex-paramour told Kelley. “He walked out in the middle of the night. … He told me he later felt very guilty about it.” So will you or will you not buy the book?
