Publisher's Summary

Love is our only hope. It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks.

Anne Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives – how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity and guides us forward.

In each chapter of Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Lamott refracts all the colours of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints, even frightens. Drawing from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair, as it galvanises us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates, comforts as it energises and sustains as it surprises.
