"Roche provides an insightful description of his first marriage and thereby renders an account of what goes into the courtship, marriage, and divorce of many modern American couples."--Booklist

"Love's Labors is the story of one man's union with a free-spirited woman and his struggle against impending loss—a meditation on permanence and loyalty, on independence and love.  It reminds us of all the good reasons why two people come together, and all the good reasons why some of them, ultimately, must part."--Hope Edelman, author of Motherless Daughters

"An appealing, honest story of a young man's love for a talented, independent woman.  Roche is a fine writer with  wholesome, self-deprecating sense of humor. . . . [H]is story has a universality that should ring true for a great many readers."--The Virginian-Pilot
