The pleasure of this book is that Robin does not simplify or sugarcoat; instead, through the honest sharing of her own complex love stories and insights from relationship experts, she reminds us that to receive real love, we must look within, tend compassionately to our wounds, and till the ground of our souls to prepare ourselves for it.”
