LONG BEACH: Where Love Takes Root is a collection of poetry and photography inspired by the everyday beauty of Long Beach, California.
Each poem in this volume began with an original photograph captured by April Ronay in the city she calls home. From shoreline light and ocean air to quiet gardens, civic landmarks, and fleeting street moments, these pages gather the spirit of a place lived from the inside. Ronay is also the author of The Hidden Garden.
This is not a guidebook or a skyline portrait. It is an intimate meditation on belonging. Through image and language, Ronay explores healing, resilience, and the quiet ways love reveals itself in ordinary life. The flowers that appear throughout the collection are not decorative but emblematic, bearing witness to care given, growth sustained, and the tender strength required to endure.
Long Beach: Where Love Takes Root invites readers to slow down, notice what is already growing around them, and honor the small acts of presence that hold a community together.
This is a book about tending.
About staying.
About the love that takes root when we choose to remain.
