In Somehow Thoughts on Love 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. Love just wont be pinned down she says. It is in our very atmosphere and lies at the heart of who we are. We are Lamott says creatures of love.
