From the bestselling author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow, a joyful celebration of love.
“Love is our only hope,” Anne Lamott writes in this perceptive new book. “It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks.”
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 won't 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.
In each chapter of Somehow, Lamott refracts all the colors of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints, even frightens. The sustaining love among a group of sinners, for a community in transition, in the wider world. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates, comforts as it energizes, sustains as it surprises.
Somehow is Anne Lamott’s twentieth book, and in it she draws from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair as it galvanizes us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Full of the compassion and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Somehow is classic Anne Lamott: funny, warm, and wise.
A heartfelt, humorous personal memoir and relatable guide to
overcoming obstacles, wising up about romance, and getting ahead in
your career from the star of Netflix's hit reality show Selling
Sunset. In this engaging, witty, and inspirational memoir,
Chrishell Stause shares her story of living an unconventional
childhood in small-town Kentucky marked by periods of homelessness,
family addiction struggles and dreams of one day being on a daytime
soap, all while managing the local Dairy Queen. Through resilience
and grit, she overcame obstacles and pushed past every barrier in
her path to become one of the most envied luxury realtors in Los
Angeles and buzzworthy cast members in reality TV. She takes us
behind the scenes of Selling Sunset, reveals never-before-told
stories from her life in soaps, and even pulls back the curtain on
her highly publicised love life, offering insight not before
shared. With her signature honesty and charm, Stause also gives
tangible advice based on the lessons she's learned over the years
and offers unique insight about how to stay resilient and positive
no matter how many times life knocks you down. Under Construction
is for anyone who wants to remember that no matter what happens or
how, you have to get up, dress up and show up - and walk back into
the room stronger than ever before.
