In All There Is, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay shares stories
of love and marriage from the revolutionary oral history
project, revealing the many and remarkable journeys that
relationships can take. In stories that carry us from the excitement and
anticipation of courtship to the deep connection of lifelong
commitment, we discover that love is found in the most
unexpected of places—a New York tollbooth, a military base
in Iraq, an airport lounge—and learn that the course it
takes is as unpredictable as life itself. As the
storytellers in this book start careers, build homes, and
raise families, we witness the life-affirming joy of
partnership, the comfort of shared sorrows, and profound
gratitude in the face of loss. These stories are also testament to the heart’s
remarkable endurance. In All There Is we encounter love that
survives discrimination, illness, poverty, distance—even
death. In the courage of people’s passion we are reminded of
the strength and resilience of the human spirit. This
powerful collection bares witness to real love, in its many
varied forms, enriching our understanding of that most
magical feeling.
