Like kernels in a popcorn cooker, the word "love" is bounced around. It is tossed from one extreme to the next, from place to place, person-to-person, laying dormant or exploding based on the stage of the cooking cycle. "Love", a word that is often not held accountable to anyone as long as the words, “I love you” are spoken.

However, there is one love in which we should all find safety, especially when we are young — the love of our parents.

Unfortunately, all too often, children get swept up in the emotional chaos of their parent’s romantic relationship — happy-times when the relationship is good and troubled times when the relationship is not so good. In the wrong place at the wrong time, the child is an innocent bystander who get’s wounded by stray conflicts, and scarred in clashes intended for adults.

In this book we explore passive love-lessons some have lived and others have learned by the way their parents lived and the way they loved. Take a look at your life. Take a look at your love.

Anyone can say the words, but for the sake of the child, and the child inside of you, what are you willing to do to Turn Up The Love?
