Book excerpt: Trey Humphreys battled love all his life. He couldn't define it, didn't know why he disliked his life or himself, and really didn't believe in love. Then, eight years ago, a business coach asked him a simple question that changed his life forever - "What is your definition of love?" It blindsided him. His answer was awful, and it set him on a journey around the world to define it. Love Is Bananas - One Man's Journey to Discover the Most Important Word in the World is his story of enlightenment. From a broken man with a romantic story in Yemen to a snake-handling preacher in Kentucky to a 28-year-old, dying homeless girl in Nashville and countless more, Trey has asked the same three questions about love and been amazed by the answers. From it all, Trey has become a true believer in himself and others. His hope is that you find love in these pages and let it become contagious in your life. For anyone who has been in love, wants to find it, or needs to discover self-love, come laugh, cry, and love with Trey. His witty charm and brutal honesty will wash over you like a refreshing forest stream.

Download or read book Notes on a Banana written by David Leite and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FINALIST FOR THE NEW ENGLAND BOOK AWARD FOR NON FICTION A PASTE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR ONE OF TIMEOUT NEW YORK’S BEST SUMMER BEACH READS OF 2017 ONE OF REAL SIMPLE’S 25 FATHER’S DAY BOOKS THAT COVER ALL OF DAD’S INTERESTS The stunning and long-awaited memoir from the beloved founder of the James Beard Award-winning website Leite’s Culinaria—a candid, courageous, and at times laugh-out-loud funny story of family, food, mental illness, and sexual identity. Born into a family of Azorean immigrants, David Leite grew up in the 1960s in a devoutly Catholic, blue-collar, food-crazed Portuguese home in Fall River, Massachusetts. A clever and determined dreamer with a vivid imagination and a flair for the dramatic, “Banana” as his mother endearingly called him, yearned to live in a middle-class house with a swinging kitchen door just like the ones on television, and fell in love with everything French, thanks to his Portuguese and French-Canadian godmother. But David also struggled with the emotional devastation of manic depression. Until he was diagnosed in his mid-thirties, David found relief from his wild mood swings in learning about food, watching Julia Child, and cooking for others. Notes on a Banana is his heartfelt, unflinchingly honest, yet tender memoir of growing up, accepting himself, and turning his love of food into an award-winning career. Reminiscing about the people and events that shaped him, David looks back at the highs and lows of his life: from his rejection of being gay and his attempt to “turn straight” through Aesthetic Realism, a cult in downtown Manhattan, to becoming a writer, cookbook author, and web publisher, to his twenty-four-year relationship with Alan, known to millions of David’s readers as “The One,” which began with (what else?) food. Throughout the journey, David returns to his stoves and tables, and those of his family, as a way of grounding himself. A blend of Kay Redfield Jamison’s An Unquiet Mind, the food memoirs by Ruth Reichl, Anthony Bourdain, and Gabrielle Hamilton, and the character-rich storytelling of Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris, and Jenny Lawson, Notes on a Banana is a feast that dazzles, delights, and, ultimately, heals.
