"At first glance, one might think this book would only appeal to those of us who are die hard romantics. However, its content transcends your typical love story. bell hooks takes the reader on a quest to answer the age-old question about what love truly is.  

I was challenged to think about the value of compassion and the way in which it serves as a healing balm for our communities, society, and the entire world in which we live. I walked away from this book with not only a reminder of the power of love to unite, but also a reawakening of self-love as a prerequisite for the lesson on learning to love others. "
