“In her new book Love, Beth Kephart has beautifully captured the heart and soul of our city. She captures its complexity by writing eloquently about its beauty, the respect for the past, the resilience of its citizens and an embrace of creativity and innovation unfolding at the speed of light.  Set against an extraordinary backdrop of some of our city and region’s most beloved sites, Kephart paints a picture of an area where the past, present and future come together to create a unique and wonderful place that is exciting for those of us who live here and a great treat for those who travel here from across the county and the globe.” — Jane Golden, Executive Director, Mural Arts Program
 
Love is a lovely literary tour of places and spaces in and around Philadelphia…. When seen through Kephart’s eyes and words – Philadelphia is a place of new beginnings.” — Siobhan A. Reardon, President and Director, Free Library of Philadelphia
