X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>In&nbsp\;Somehow: Thoughts on Love</em
 >\, beloved bestselling author&nbsp\;Anne Lamott&nbsp\;explores the transf
 ormative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us\, forces us
  to confront uncomfortable truths\, reminds us of our humanity\, and guide
 s us forward. &ldquo\;Love just won&rsquo\;t be pinned down\,&rdquo\; she 
 says. &ldquo\;It is in our very atmosphere&rdquo\; and lies at the heart o
 f who we are. We are\, Lamott says\, creatures of love.</p>\n<p>In each ch
 apter of&nbsp\;Somehow\,&nbsp\;Lamott refracts all the colors of the spect
 rum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bru
 ised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints\, even frightens. The
  sustaining love among a group of sinners\, for a community in transition\
 , in the wider world. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens
  as it educates\, comforts as it energizes\, sustains as it surprises.</p>
 \n<p>Lamott is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers\, includi
 ng&nbsp\;Dusk\, Night\, Dawn\; Almost Everything\;&nbsp\;Hallelujah Anyway
 \;&nbsp\;Small Victories\; Stitches\; Help\, Thanks\, Wow\; Some Assembly 
 Required\;&nbsp\;Grace (Eventually)\; Plan B\; and&nbsp\;Traveling Mercies
 \, as well as several novels. She is a past recipient of a Guggenheim Fell
 owship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame.</p>\n<p>Lamott will
  be in conversation with&nbsp\;Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affair
 s for the University of Chicago&rsquo\;s TMW Center for Early Learning + P
 ublic Health\, and creative director for Parent Nation\, an initiative of 
 the TMW Center. Prior to joining TMW\, Stevens worked at the&nbsp\;Chicago
  Tribune&nbsp\;for 23 years\, where she wrote a daily column called &ldquo
 \;Balancing Act.&rdquo\; She maintains a weekly nationally syndicated colu
 mn. Stevens also serves as a FAN board member.</p>\n<p>This event is suita
