Told through various forms—aubades, a crown of prose sonnets, an admissions essay—Love Prodigal says yes to second (and third and fourth) chances. The heart gets bigger every time it heals.

This book focuses on WHAT YOU and WE CAN DO for the common good. When natural disasters hit, communities work together; in the old days, when a barn burned down, the neighbors worked together to raise a new one. It's your turn. This is your handbook to help RAISE AMERICA.
