Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In What We Do for Love, Ilene ("Gingy") Beckerman tells her funny, sometimes heartbreaking story, a story that every woman who's ever searched for love will recognize: The first crush. The phone call that doesn't come. The makeovers after the breakups. And the exchange of marriage vows. With poignant prose and drawings, Beckerman looks back on a lifetime of trying to find true love. She remembers sneaking out of the house to neck with her high school boyfriend, dancing cheek-to-cheek with her first husband, and settling down with her second husband - but even he is not the man of her dreams. Through it all, Gingy Beckerman holds on to the possibility that there might he someone out there who's just right for her. And, as it turns out, there is - "I never would have expected when I was a senior in high school that I wouldn't find love until I was practically a senior citizen".

Synopsis:

Looking for love isn't easy, and it's never what you expect. WHAT WE DO FOR LOVE is a reminder of how true that is. Unlucky in love herself, "Gingy" Beckerman shows us there is always reason to keep trying. "Recaptures in words and line drawings young love in all its glorious agony and possibility."--Glamour; "Charmingly written and illustrated . . . this savory little truffle turns out to be surprisingly poignant, laced with the bitter, the rueful, and the sweet." --Good Housekeeping; "This book would make a perfect gift from a woman to her best woman friend."--Chattanooga Free Press. A BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB selection.
