Love on a Weak Battery

Fully charged? Wonderful. Keep this book nearby—you may need it for future reference.

Running a little low? Don’t worry. Love on a Weak Battery may remind you that a weakening battery doesn’t mean love has lost its spark. In this warm, playful, and deeply human collection, VietPhilly follows love through the seasons of life—from the innocent glances and trembling hands of first love to marriage, desire, heartbreak, aging, and the hilarious surprises that sometimes happen behind closed doors. Here, young lovers discover what it means to fall in love. Older lovers discover that growing old doesn’t mean desire has to retire. Bodies change. Batteries weaken. Hearts get broken. But tenderness, laughter, companionship, and a little creativity can keep the sparks flying.

Some poems will take you back to the person who first made your heart race. Some may bring tears for a love that slipped away. And others may make you laugh out loud at the determination of lovers who refuse to let age have the final word. Whether you are twenty-five and fully charged, fifty-five and checking the indicator, or eighty-five and wondering where you left the charger, there is something here for you.

If your love battery is full, read this book for the road ahead.
If it is running low, read it for inspiration.
And if it has only two bars left…

you may be surprised how many sparks are still possible.
