Love. We want it, we seek it, we give it, we lose it, we find it, we speak of falling in and out of it, and making it but what is this thing called love? Aldous Huxley said of love: "Of all the worn, smudged, dog-eared words in our vocabulary, love is surely the grubbiest, smelliest, slimiest. And yet, it has to be pronounced for, after all, 'love' is the last word." Drawing on her interviews with WES couples, Mary weaves together an exploration of love, the most challenging and "ultimate" of human experiences.
