Jacob Miller, a painter confined to a wheel chair most of his life as a result of childhood polio, is confronted with whether to end his friend's life when that friend is lying unable to move a muscle after breaking his neck. What We Love, takes us on a voyage through eight years in Jacob's life from a poor artist living with his to-be wife in SoHo to ultimate worldwide success. During the course of his development his sole pursuit is getting at the truth in everything he paints. Yet near the end of the story he tells the world and his wife a lie that only she can uncover.
