Hungry Hearts
Essays on Courage, Desire, and Belonging
Over the course of four years, the traveling love rally called Together Live brought together diverse storytellers for epic evenings of laughter, music, and hard-won wisdom to huge audiences across the country. Well-known womxn (and the occasional man) from all walks of life shared their most vulnerable truths in a radical act of love, paving the way for healing in the face of adversity.
Now, off the stage and on the pages of Hungry Hearts, sixteen of these beloved speakers offer moving, inspiring, deeply personal essays as a reminder that we can heal from grief and that divisions can be repaired. Bozoma Saint John opens herself up to love after loss; Cameron Esposito confronts the limits of self-reliance in the wake of divorce; Ashley C. Ford learns to trust herself for the first time. A heartfelt anthology of transformation, self-discovery, and courage that also includes essays by Luvvie Ajayi Jones, Amena Brown, Austin Channing Brown, Natalie Guerrero, Sue Monk Kidd, Connie Lim (MILCK), Nkosingiphile Mabaso, Jillian Mercado, Priya Parker, Geena Rocero, Michael Trotter and Tanya-Blount Trotter of The War and Treaty, and Maysoon Zayid, Hungry Hearts shows how reconnecting with our own burning, undeniable intuition points us toward our unique purpose and the communities where we most belong.

Starred review from May 1, 2021
There's a lot packed into this collection of 16 stories, an outgrowth of the Together Live storytelling event. The book's subtitle, "Essays on Courage, Desire, and Belonging," merely scratches the surface of the range of topics addressed in these essays. In essays of particular note, Austin Channing Brown explains why ambition is not a bad thing; Cameron Esposito shares her experience with the common adult fear of not fitting in; Maysoon Zayid laughs about her Valentine Day's horrors; and Sue Monk Kidd challenges women to live out loud. Don't skip the introduction by editor Walsh either. Most of the essays are read by their authors, which fills the audiobook with a wide array of voices, accents, and heartfelt emotions. VERDICT This is a powerful volume that will be in demand, whether for specific contributors or the inspiration provided by the essays.--Donna Bachowski, Grand Island, FL
