- This anthology carries readers through the many faces, spaces, and stages of love. From life-long lesbian love to the love between a child and her dog. From a father and son bonding by climbing the tallest mountains together, to an estranged couiple finding their way back to eachother in a life-threatening crisis. From a teen's crush on a foreign seatmate stranger, to grandparents cataloging their still-growing love for one another. From finding love early to finding it late. From love that is no longer reciprocated, to a woman's love for her destroyed homeland.
- This collection of memoir pieces, short stories, and poetry presents twenty-some writers from across the US, Canada, the UK, and South Africa. Some pieces in The Love Book are amusing, others heartbreaking, still others sublime evocations of moments in readers' own lives.
