Letters from the Love Room - by Martin Corinne (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Love lingers far after the end.....

After the death of a beloved 102 year old aunt, Corinne Martin discovered that "the love room" - the unique connection made up of the joys and struggles of two people over time - didn't disappear. Determined to stay in touch, Martin began writing letters to her aunt. Over three years, these became a tender doorway both forward into the uncharted territory of loss, and backward into her southern roots.

Keeping watch at the love room door, Martin learned more about her aunt, rediscovered their intriguing family, fell in love with the South again, and began to heal. She learned that all love rooms intersect in the heart, and that our beloveds are never torn away. Find comfort, inspiration, and even joy as you accompany the author on her luminous trek through the landscape of loss.

Review Quotes

Letters from the Love Room is an apt title for this wise and compassionate work. The author speaks of grief as it lands in her body, as it plays out in her life, as she feels it in the real world. Martin sits in the love room of grief and writes exquisitely from her heart. I love this book.

Letters from the Love Room is a poetic rendering of what we all go through eventually, if we have had the courage to give our hearts to another. There have been many books written on grief, but I doubt that you will find another of such depth and personal, almost mystical, sharing.
