Rent Us: Americans Talk About Love

Synopsis

From the wards of New Orleans to the fields of Iowa, the raves of San Francisco to the hollows of Appalachia, Americans talk about love. By turns poetic, shocking, amusing, wise, astonishing, and always frank, Americans talk about broken hearts; sexual infidelities; improbable reconciliations; hidden, forbidden, preposterous love; and endurance against all odds. From the mouths and hearts of mail-order brides, Amtrak conductors, high school teenagers, polyamorous cosmopolitans, and octogenarian ranchers, these extraordinary tales from high and low chronicle the essential human experience and the fabric of our time. These are America's real love stories, unadorned, straight from the heart. An addictive read, full of joy, surprise, and wisdom, this is storytelling at its best.
