Love and other calamities is a story that showcases the power of love and how despite the supremacy of outside influences, when two hearts are joined in the most profound way, they become unstoppable. This story is about the power of love and how- even though it rips us apart and leaves us open and vulnerable- it is only with the certainty of love that, we are made to feel safe and secure.
