Synopsis:

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER by the author of All About Love!

“When truth teller and careful writer bell hooks offers a book, I like to be standing at the bookshop when it opens.” –Maya Angelou

Intimate, revealing, provocative, Communion challenges every woman to courageously claim the search for love as the heroic journey we must all choose to be truly free. In her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by the feminist movement, by women's full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help, and reveals how women of all ages can bring love into every aspect of their lives, for all the years of their lives.

Communion is the heart-to-heart talk every woman -- mother, daughter, friend, and lover -- needs to have.

• Part of the groundbreaking "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy that includes All About Love and Salvation
• A grounding and inspirational look at the role of love in our daily lives.
• A must read for the modern woman by one of our most beloved authors and cultural critics.
