How do we find love? How do we live and love fully? And can we find healing and purpose after loss?
In her quest to understand love and healing, Alison van Diggelen explores how empathy, self-love and personal growth can transform ordinary lives into extraordinary ones, distrust into loving intimacy, and grief into purpose. The Love Project looks at a community through the lens of love — romantic, familial, platonic -- and the quiet, yet powerful bonds we share with community and nature.
With candor and compassion, these real love stories reveal how people overcome challenges, grief, trauma, and societal prejudice. From the windswept beaches of Carmel to moments of quiet self-discovery in neighbors’ homes, each story reminds us of the human spirit’s resiliency and capacity for growth and connection.
Whether you are seeking inspiration for your own journey of self-improvement or the comfort of knowing you are not alone, The Love Project offers a gentle guide to finding love and hope, living authentically, and embracing life’s most transformative moments.
Editorial reviews for The Love Project:
Featured by Arianna Huffington on Thrive Global October 1, 2025
Gretchen Rubin shared The Love Project in her "5 Things Making Me Happy" newsletter October 10, 2025
“Deeply human…inspirational, emotive, and revelatory of the power, mystery, and pain of love…The Love Project is a journey well worth being part of.” Michael J Krasny, NPR’s KQED Forum
“Reading The Love Project feels like being welcomed into a circle of confidantes. These stories of love -- discovered late in life, found in unlikely places, tested through hardship -- are told with honesty, tenderness, and unflinching detail. Alison van Diggelen has created a collection that is both balm and spark: a celebration of connection, resilience, and the surprising ways love continues to find us.” Julian Guthrie, NYT best-selling author, Alpha Girls
“The story of grit, love, and beautiful chaos. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll probably call your mom when you’re done.” Guy Kawasaki, NYT best-selling author, Host of the Remarkable People podcast
"Alison van Diggelen has spent years interviewing the rich and famous, asking the kinds of questions that some of us ponder, but never dare to ask. More than a profession, for Alison, asking questions is an art. In this remarkable book, she combines that art with her own deeply personal revelations, connecting with neighbors from widely different walks of life who share their hearts like brush strokes on a canvas, painting answers to a series of quintessential questions: What is love? What is this gift we call life? And how will we choose to live? I found it hard to put down. It’s a lovely and uplifting collection of insights and souls.” Sharon Randall, author of The World and Then Some.
"The Love Project is a soul-stirring reminder that everyone carries a story worth knowing. Whether our defining moment of love broke our heart, curled our toes or made us feel seen like never before, that love continues to shape the way we live. Alison’s story of vulnerability and her insightful questions tap into our deep truths. Her very relatable stories made me both laugh-out-loud and weep." Shana McLean Moore, Author of Caffeinated Ponderings
“What makes The Love Project so special is Alison’s remarkable gift of being able to understand the underlying truth of what matters most. Her insights capture the essence of people and love. Beautifully written and meaningful. ” Wanda Straw, author of Sasha Noodle String Theory

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
