All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps by Dave Isay
The best place I know for crying is my car. It is safe, cozy, somewhat elegant, and secure. The only people who see me crying in my car are strangers, so I can feel free to cry in my car without any judgement or criticism. Mostly they just give me a sad, empathetic glance as they drive by me. I listened "All Their Is," an hour long audio book by Dave Isay and cried the whole time. I didn't know what StoryCorps was before I read this book. It is a non-profit organization that aims to record, preserve, and share stories of Americans from all backgrounds and beliefs. It is promoting the best of humanity, one story at a time, and this books includes stories from their archives about love. This collection is lovely, heartbreaking, adorable, gut wrenching and more than anything, just poignant. Don't take my word for it. Download the Libby App, put this book in our library cue, and wait for the joy to overwhelm you. And remember, crying in your car is totally acceptable in my book.
