Synopsis
Number one best-seller Jane Green – author of The Beach House and Spellbound – explores changes in relationships when a family member is struck with illness in her heartbreaking novel The Love Verb.
Love means being there - through everything.
Everyone in Callie's family is busy; her sister is a free-spirited Manhattan chef, her best friend Lila is coping with the vitriol of her new man's ex-wife, and her parents, Walter and Honor, have rich though separate lives. But when Callie discovers the breast cancer she thought she'd beaten has returned, they all find that their lives shift to focus on caring for Callie.
