Book Description
When Dira, which means Diamond, found her true love, she knew her life would never be the same. However her love was tested in many ways and the depth of it proved to be more than what a fake lover could overcome. The story of Dira took many twists and turns as she overcame objections from her parents due to differences between cultures, languages and ways of life. The persistence of Dira led her to many great characters in the book, and she ultimately got connected to the one she really wanted with the timely assistance of a Mrs. Roy, a former teacher and friend. Though she found herself in a love triangle, Dira surmounted her fear of choosing wrongly and not even physical disability could stop her from claiming her love. Dira was able to share her story with her friend Suya who had overcome child/human trafficking experience. "Love It Is" demonstrated how one person's willingness to connect can widen the circle of love for others to overcome differences, ignorance and ultimately give hope to the world desperately looking for love. This is one book that will transport you to new experiences about different parts of our world, languages, customs, and its all seamlessly blended together in a powerfully interesting way to show effect of ignorance on people and the significance of science to bring healing and hope when people connect.

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller: “[A] brutally honest memoir of a brave, smart, fresh-faced young woman’s descent into domestic hell.” —Monica Holloway, author of Driving with Dead People At 22, Leslie Morgan Steiner seemed to have it all: a Harvard diploma, a glamorous job at Seventeen magazine, a downtown New York City apartment. Plus a handsome, funny, street-smart boyfriend who adored her. But behind her façade of success, this golden girl hid a dark secret. She’d made a mistake shared by millions: she fell in love with the wrong person. At first Leslie and Conor seemed as perfect together as their fairy-tale wedding. Then came the fights she tried to ignore: he pushed her down the stairs of the house they bought together, poured coffee grinds over her hair as she dressed for a critical job interview, choked her during an argument, and threatened her with a gun. Several times, he came close to making good on his threat to kill her. With each attack, Leslie lost another piece of herself. Gripping and utterly compelling, Crazy Love takes you inside the violent, devastating world of abusive love. Conor said he’d been abused since he was a young boy, and love and rage danced intimately together in his psyche. Why didn’t Leslie leave? She stayed because she loved him. Find out for yourself if she had fallen truly in love—or into a psychological trap. Crazy Love will draw you in—and never let go. “Compulsively readable.” —People “A must read for anyone in a consuming relationship.” —Iris Krasnow, New York Times–bestselling author
