Book Description
Four diverse young women, each at a crossroads in their lives, meet at a very popular HBCU. Born and raised in the heart of Brooklyn, Franki doesn’t take crap from anyone. Continuously hurt by the men in her life, she finds herself using them for the only thing she believes they’re good for: sex. When she’s labeled for her promiscuity and a new tragedy strikes, how will she recover? Paris, on the other hand, has led a life of privilege out in Beverly Hills—one that didn’t include very many minorities in her circle. When her mother sends her off to an HBCU in hopes that she’ll reconnect with her people, she finds herself culture-shocked. Asha, the local girl, is a complete slacker when it comes to school and anything else that doesn’t align with her future plans of becoming a basketball wife. She is a user and a mastermind manipulator who will ultimately have to pay a price. Lastly, there’s Hope, the good girl. Raised by her father and brought up in the church, she’s been sheltered most of her life. When she falls hard for the big man on campus and gets her heart crushed to pieces, will she persist? Told from each character’s distinct point of view, this narrative is about young women navigating the dynamics of sex, love, and heartbreak in college. Being outcasts in their own right, these four young women ultimately forge a very unique bond.

Pages : 321
Book Description
After barely surviving their freshman year at NC A&T, the girls have to make it through the summer. Just before spring break, Hope learns that she’s pregnant, but now she’s unsure of exactly what to do. On the one hand, she doesn’t want to disappoint her father because he only knows the meek and sheltered child he raised. He has yet to face the young, fleshly woman she’s now become—the one that has fallen weak for a man. But on the other, the father of her unborn child is not who she once thought he was. Despite making the conscious decision to separate herself from the married Malachi Montgomery, the pain of losing him causes a natural tug of war inside Paris’s heart. Franki’s heart continues to open up to church boy Josh, but she’s unsure of just how long their relationship will last without sex. Every day, she struggles with her past, and when things back home take a turn for the worse, the lines between intimacy, sex, and religion are blurred. Finally, Asha hits rock bottom—so low that she attempts to mend relationships that were once thought to be broken beyond repair. She even makes notable strides in putting the puzzle pieces of her life back together, but will it all be too late? Will it even be enough to change her selfish, gold-digging ways? Find out in the finale of Heartbreak U.

How to Fix a Broken Heart
Author: Guy Winch
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501120131
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted. Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it. Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant. Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
