There is beauty and there is hope and there is a boy and there is a mother and there is the past and there is the future but most importantly there is the now, and everything that exists between them that has got them from one moment to the next. The now is where we find the golden glow where, for the briefest of moments, the sky rips open and we see what it is we are made of.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTell me a story, he asked me.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnd so I began.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Clementine Ford is a person who has loved deeply, strangely and with curiosity.

With clear eyes and an open heart, she writes about losing her adored mother far too young, about the pain and confusion of first love - both platonic and romantic - and the joy and heartache of adult love. She writes movingly about the transcendent and transformative journey to motherhood and the similarly monumental path to self-love. 'We love as children, as friends, as parents and, yes, sometimes as sexual beings, and none of it is more important than the other because all of it shows us who we are.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow We Love\u003c\/i\u003e is heartfelt, funny, confessional, revelatory, compassionate - and essential reading.
