In this book, American author bell hooks addresses our human suffering: the absence of love in our lives and our being caught between the cogs of the material world, patriarchal society, and the media. For many years, love has been abandoned in favor of the love of power, imposing dominance in romantic relationships, friendships, and the bonds between mothers, fathers, and their children. The family has abandoned its role, relationships between spouses have become isolated, and divorce and separation have become the norm. hooks reminds us that returning to love is the only savior, so that we can speak to our hearts, touch them, revive what has died within them, and cling to a humanity that is on the verge of extinction. Bell hooks is an African-American feminist who has spent her life writing about love, class, art, and history. She was included in the Utah Reader's 1995 list of "100 Inspiring People Who Can Change Your Life" and appeared on Time magazine's 2020 list of "100 Women of the Year," where she was described as "a rare public intellectual who has managed to reach a wide audience with minimal effort." Here, she writes about all aspects of love, analyzes its absence in different societies, and asserts that "in love, we are renewed and healed, and it restores us to the promise of eternal life. When we love, we can let our hearts speak."
