A World in Us

A guided tour of non-monogamy, A World in Us begins with Louisa and her husband Gilles, who love each other but whose marriage is going nowhere. They decide to explore polyamory, falling for another couple and trying to forge a life together as a quad. But they are challenged in ways they didn’t expect, and their experimentation forces them to accept a new understanding of themselves and each other. This chronicle is followed by Louisa’s letters to her younger self. Sometimes love and good intention isn’t enough. Do you cut your losses and return to monogamy, or do you rise from the ashes? In this compilation of her previous works, The Husband Swap and Lessons in Love and Life to My Younger Self, Louisa offers candid insight into the polyamorous heart.

“As Louisa takes us on her relationship road trip, she ultimately delivers a map on how to start and continue a process of wise self-examination and relationship success.”—from the foreword by Gracie X., author of Wide Open: My Adventures in Polyamory, Open Marriage, and Loving on My Own Terms
