I was so excited about this book! but I was left unsatisfied by it. it could have been great but it was just mediocre.
“The Little Love That Could: Stories of Tenacious Love, Underdogs, and Ragamuffins” by Pamela Capone shares personal essays of small, powerful, explosive, quiet, tenacious, and engaging love. These different types of love persevere and never give up as they demonstrate that indeed love can.
Throughout the book, Pamela Capone gives readers insight into her life and the lessons about love that she has learned. I savored each short chapter as a devotional or meditation. The insights helped me see practical and unique ways I can love God, myself, and others better.
Pamela uses humor, Scripture and numerous television/movie references to enhance her insights, and she writes with humor and personality. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to readers who are curious about love - what love is, how to receive love, and how to show love.
The author's search for love, forgiveness and redemption were beautifully captured in the stories of this memoir. I love how she proved that little interactions could have major impacts on our lives.
A fantastic book! Filled with little notes of love. A variety of topics all centering around - you guessed it --love. The perfect gift for a friend, a shower present, or yourself! Plan to stop and read a few stories, then put the book aside. Come back later for more encouragement and love. Take you time and savor! Enjoy!

The Little Love That Could is full of short snappy musings of the authors reflections on love. All kids of love! From our relationships with our friends, families, and other loved ones these glimpses into the author’s life are relatable.
While the stories do not to tie together to create a plot, they will each bring you a little glimmer of happiness and hope. I think this is something you can keep on hand and read in doses as you need them. Almost a modern Chicken Soup for the Soul.
The format of the book takes a little getting used to, but once you realise that the short, snappy chapters which have no discernable timeline are reflective of the way one's own musings on a theme (in this case being the theme of Love) can go from thought to thought naturally if not in a linear fashion, then it makes this book easier to grasp and read.
There are some wonderful observations which will resonate with readers but also some thoughts which go off on too much of a tangent from what the brief chapter is supposed to be about.
Overall it's a relatively easy read, which can be picked up and put down allowing the reader to get through it in bite-sized pieces.
