"Moore, in the inimitable largesse of her art, paints a shimmering portrait of the sacrifice, pain, and wild joy of loving," said the book's publisher, House of Anansi Press and Groundwood Books, in a press release.

"This is How We Love brings us a cast of characters so rich and true they could only have been written by Lisa Moore."
