Diane Ackerman, bestselling author of The Zookeeper’s Wife, An Alchemy of Mind, and Dawn Light, joins us to talk about One Hundred Names for Love,  a tender love story and an inspiring chronicle of the mysteries of language and the brain.

Ackerman and her husband, the gifted writer Paul West, spent forty years crafting their own “language of love” when Paul lost the ability to speak or write.

It was a devastating situation for a romantic, playful, word-obsessed couple—and a story of hope and patience in the face of heartbreak, beautifully told in this riveting memoir.
