Seasons of Love is a call for integrity in a marriage. In this riveting memoir, the author confronts the challenges that befall her American self, her French husband, and their family. Seeing marriage as a daily “coming together,” their continuous courtship and commitment enable them to wake each morning, after sixty-six years, grateful for another day of loving.
