Love and Limerence
Excellent. Of universal interest. It deals with the subject in an entirely new way.-Simone de Beauvoir Originally released twenty years ago, Love and Limerence has become a classic in the psychology of emotion. As relevant today as it was then, this book offers insight into love, infatuation, madness, and all flavors of emotion in between.

Back from Suicide reveals the suicidal mind through the misery of depression and the difficulty of coming out. It’s the enigma of self-destruction after a lifetime of success. It’s for parents, LGBTQ families, mental health advocates, and suicide survivors walking through grief, identity, and hope. It is a mother’s pursuit of the biggest question of humankind. Why do people kill themselves? Marie Lisette Rimer supports her son’s gay life. She’s in awe of his achievements. Patrick Wood is a valedictorian, an AP Scholar, and a National Merit Scholarship winner with perfect SAT scores. A year after he graduates from Stanford with honors, she struggles to understand his suicide. Rimer searches for answers through Patrick’s life, Berlin’s gay scene, and his death after rejection from a boy he wanted. She draws from Stanford psychiatrists, research, memoirs, and her own awakening to confront the painful question of why suicide? She finds answers through therapy and the science of depression to expose the hidden forces behind sadness, perfectionism, identity, and isolation. She weaves guilt and grief with evidence and understanding. Back from Suicide is more than a story of loss. It’s the seeds of depression that lead to suicide. It’s what comes next—how we find purpose in pain and love beyond death. “Back from Suicide is a must-read for everyone, at this moment of our sad history, when teenage suicide is on the rise. I did not put it down, except to eat and sleep. It is a tour de force—pitch-perfect (Wagnerian though it often is). It is a mother’s journey to trace the arc, the soul, and the burn-out of this shooting star. Rimer has brought his greatness to life, over and over again. She is a sleuth, a truth teller, and a superb writer. Patrick shines on, even in the depths of his family’s and his mother’s grief.” -Nancy Cobb, In Lieu of Flowers: A Conversation for the Living “Rimer’s deeply pained and beautifully written exploration of her son’s death from suicide, is at once a celebration of a life, a reckoning with a death, and an impassioned inquiry in how and why the inconceivable could happen.” -BookLife Reviews
