Stories of innocent childhood love; of couples meeting again after years of being apart and finding each other still with the passion of earlier days; older women finding time to enjoy companionship and sex; a wife whose love for herself takes her to another zone of self-protection. This is Love's Promise which refreshes our faith in humanity, a way of being naturally in the world, flaws and all. -Carole Boyce Davies
