Love is many things to many people. It's a bond that connects souls. A force that moves mountains. An inexplicable feeling that defies reason and logic. And it shows up everywhere-

from the edges of a war-ravaged country, the eastern seashore, aboard a cruise ship, in a car or kitchen. Even inside a public restroom at the hospital.

In this powerful anthology, writers from around the globe share their most intimate and insightful true stories exploring the depths of love in all its forms; from the passionate love between soulmates to the unconditional love of a parent. From the deep platonic love between friends to the spiritual love that connects all beings.

Thought-provoking, heart-warming, and deeply moving, the bite-sized stories in this book will leave you laughing, crying, and seeing love from entirely new perspectives.

If you enjoy the honest personal storytelling of Anne Lamott, David Sedaris, Hanna Gadsby, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Michelle Obama, or anthologies by The Moth, you will adore What is Love?
