Delilah is so inspirational and charismatic. You can almost hear her soothing voice reading these stories to you. That makes them so much more special. Stories are about all kinds of love. A very inspirational book about true love. If you like Delilah it is a must read!

I liked the book. This book offers hope for people who long for their long lost soul mates. I thought there were a lot of those stories and it brought me to tears more than once. Over all it was enjoyable, and left me with a good feeling. I like short stories of inspiration and that is what this book was full of.

This book will make you rejoice in mankind and also know that love has many faces and destiny makes a difference in the lives of so many people we will never meet. A 'hard to put down' book about all aspects of love and loving relationships.

For years I've occasionally helped pass the time on a long drive or train ride by discovering Delilah's soothing voice as I surfed the car radio or my Walkman for some entertainment to help me stay awake. Since I only seem to hear her shows in the dark of the night and she has a name of one of the most infamous temptresses in history and her voice seems to personify the song of the fabled sirens of myth, I began to wonder if she was some kind of "reformed vampire of love." To me vampirism has always seemed a romantic incarnation of eternal life and love. The bite of the vampire is the ultimate kiss that drives humans crazy.
Naturally I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this autobiographical work that I figured would confirm of dispel my various fantasies about this mesmerizing self-proclaimed after-dark "Queen of the Sappy Love Songs." Was she the beaconing temptress calling the love-sick to their death on the rocky coast of the "Sea of Love," or was she a mild-manner grandmother taking calls and broadcasting from some suburban home's basement? This book answers those questions and many others.
First of all, Delilah informs the reader that this book is only the first in a series of her radio audience's stories that will be published by Harlequin. So those readers who enjoy this book can look forward to sequels. This book is also "a chick" book and since I'm a man, I probably don't appreciate the nuances of the tome as much as women will? This book consists mostly of stories shared by her radio show audiences. It's what most of us males would call a touchy-feely Oprah-Dr. Laura-Dr. Pill advice book tied together with brief transition segments about Delilah's own life experience. I was disappointed as I read the introduction because all of it is posted on Delilah's website or the book description at the beginning of her Amazon Book listing and I'd already read it. I was already wondering if I was going to learn much more in the way of biographical information?
My original guess that the voice behind the radio mike might well be a grandmother living in a suburb was pretty close probably because I knew I'd been listening to her off and on for decades. Delilah is the single mother of ten children and five grandchildren. Three of the kids are her birth children and seven of them are adopted. One of the reason's the self-described "Queen of Sappy Love Songs" is so obviously sympathetic and empathic with her radio listeners is that she has personally been through a lot of unhappy personal dramas and marriages. Her belief in God has carried her through her many trials. She defines or describes the different types of love in her first two chapters
"Love for Family and Friends" and "True Love." Her next three chapters and stories deal with "Lost and Found Love", "Second Chance at Love" and "Letting Love Go." A reoccurring theme with Delilah is that it's possible to love more than one person at a time and after you've truly loved one person, you will always love that person no matter what happens. That earlier love won't keep you from also truly loving others.
Delilah is a very loving person and what you hear her say on the air is the real her.
She not only has her own multi-racial family members, but she is the sponsor of her Point Hope Foundation whose main focus has been aiding a refugee camp at Buduburam, Ghana. She lives outside Seattle on "forty-five acres of gardens and farmland." More than eight million listeners a night on 250 plus stations hear her syndicated radio show across the United States and Canada. The limited information about Delilah didn't answer all the questions I'd had from only having listened to her show, but it was a start. I'm probably too cynical, clueless and not sappy enough to really get over-excited about this book, but I know many of my women friends and female relatives will be transfixed while reading it. And I did agree with many of the things she said about the various forms of love and even her very frequent Biblical references. Her constant reference to popular love songs didn't quite fit with all the Biblical references. That may work well on her show when she actually plays the music, but the juxtaposition seemed a little shallow when used in this tome. Again, I'm certain this book will be required reading for her millions of fans. She will also grab all the Oprah viewers. This is her radio show in print but with a little more biographical information about the host.
