And I noticed that all around me I heard testimony that lovelessness had become the order of the day. I was awakened from my trance state and was stunned to find the world I was living in, the world of the present, was no longer open to love.
When that mourning ceased I was able to love again. I was still mourning –clinging to the broken heart of girlhood, to broken connections. I was not really ready to love or be loved in the present. “All the years of my life I thought I was searching for love I found, retrospectively, to be years where I was simply trying to recover what had been lost, to return to the first home, to get back the rapture of first love. These are some of the interlocking questions raised in the book, as hooks calls attention to the state of lovelessness that has insidiously infiltrated modern American society. What exactly does it mean to love? How do we experience and practice love in the current sociopolitical climate? Can love help us overcome various forms of oppression?
