The Alphabet of Love is an elegantly simple love letter to life's greatest miracle: Love itself.
— Nate Bagley, Founder of Growth Marriage
Love is its own language, and we express love in countless ways every day without a single word. Yet love is also perhaps the most written-about word in all languages. We know love, we feel love, we give and receive love, and yet we struggle to describe and define it as much as to find it and keep it. Look for love too hard, and it vanishes; hold it too tightly, and it melts away in your hand. Love is both ever-present and elusive, an invisible yet palpable presence, inhabiting a mystical place beyond definition, and unquestionably the most powerful force in our lives.
The Alphabet of Love takes readers on a poetic, lexical tour of the many ways love manifests itself by exploring the language associated with love. Each entry offers a new version and vision of love to help form a more complete picture. Part practical guide, part source of inspiration, this book brings the magic of love into our minds and hearts and reminds us that love is, indeed, a many-splendored thing.
“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
— Ted Hughes
