Share the Hope

Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds.

looking for love in all the right places

Maybe just like you, I was taught to look outside myself for love. For validation. For okayness. To look for love in all the wrong places, if you will. Truth is, when we’re young, we need the love to come from outside us and to fill us up. Second truth is, when we...
