“I so loved this story. Few authors write with more heart, wisdom, and human insight than Elizabeth Berg. Do yourself a favor and dive in. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”—Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“This is a warm, generous, and utterly satisfying novel, and its characters are vibrantly, terrifically human. I read it raptly, rooting for them all from the first pages.”—Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
“Elizabeth Berg is our great American storyteller. This wise and winning life/love story takes place in Missouri in the halcyon 1950s when girls wore saddle shoes and boys bought them root beer floats. Shy Arthur Moses (who becomes Arthur Truluv) is in love with beautiful Nola McCollum, even though the popular girl has her cap set elsewhere and often. But Arthur, who takes his cues from the splendor of nature, is a perennial, and remains unwavering in his ardor until life, in its pain and unpredictability, has other plans. If Earth’s the Right Place for Love, it is also the right place for humor, wisdom, and transcendence.”—Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Good Left Undone
“Compassionate, witty and delicate, here is a story about the people who find themselves on the sidelines and yet who manage—despite losses of their own—to be true to themselves and find their way. A celebration of small communities and the small kindnesses that, bit by bit, change a life.”—Rachel Joyce, New York Times bestselling author of Miss Benson’s Beetle
