New York Times bestselling author, feminist, and renowned visionary bell hooks culminates her triumphant trilogy about love in American culture with Communion: The Female Search for Love, revealing how women of all ages can discover and maintain love in every aspect of their lives, throughout their lives.

From one of America’s most revered thinkers and following national bestsellers All About Love: New Visions and Salvation: Black People and Love, comes COMMUNION: The Female Search for Love, hooks’ third installment in her love song to the nation.

In COMMUNION, hooks addresses women’s issues with love, detailing how women of all ages can come to love their changing bodies, can find a partner in love later in life, can reinvigorate a love life after children have left the nest, can fall in love with a career again or after venturing into a new one, and can find a healthy balance between work, love and family.

Imaginative and original, hooks shows women how to come to terms with issues of love and intimacy. And COMMUNION is hooks’ most personal and prescriptive love treatise to date. She shares with us how her choices regarding marriage, life partners, children, and career have both haunted and thrilled her. By delving into the changing role of womanhood and femininity in this post-feminist era, revealing her own personal and professional life and offering prescriptive real-life advice, hooks offers a re-thinking of women’s self-love and self-acceptance.
