Book Description
In this honest, hilarious, fiercely intelligent memoir, journalist Susan Shapiro dares to do what every woman dreams of: track down the five men who'd broken her heart and find out what really went wrong. Between the ages of thirteen and thirty-five, Susan had plunged into love, heart-first, five times. One bad breakup was more hurtful and humiliating than the next. With insight and daring, Susan chronicles her six-month-long journey back down a road strewn with romantic regret. Although for years she'd blamed her boyfriends for their flagrant infidelity, ludicrous faults, and immature foibles, to her shock she can now suddenly pinpoint the exact moment where she herself screwed up each relationship. A successful freelance writer living in Manhattan, Susan Shapiro was in the midst of a midlife crisis she called her “no-book-no-baby summer.” Married for five years to Aaron, a workaholic TV comedy writer always on the road, she was beginning to wonder if she'd remain book- and babyless forever. Then the phone rang, and it was Brad, a college flame who'd become a Harvard scientist with a book coming out. Susan offers to interview him, and she winds up launching into all the intense, invasive questions she'd always wanted to ask him. To her surprise, he answers them! This ignites a spark that sends her on a cross-country jaunt back through her lust-littered past. While Brad is still single, she finds that Heartbreaks Number Two, Three, and Four are not. George, a theater professor, and Richard, a music biographer, are happily married with children. Tom, a handsome blond lawyer in L.A., is getting divorced. Just as it's becoming easy to worm her way back into her exes' good graces, she crashes head-on with David, a wry Canadian root canal specialist. ("It’s the equivalent of what you did to me emotionally," she tells him.) She then gut-wrenchingly relives the agony of splitting up with her first love all over again. Yet somewhere between the tantalizing what-ifs and bittersweet might-have-beens, she finds what she's been searching for all along. Part relationship manifesto, part confessional, and part valentine to the males in her life she adores, Five Men Who Broke My Heart is for anyone who has ever wondered what became of their first love. Or second, third, fourth, or fifth…

Fake It, It Will Come
Author: Kathy Gotz
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1684093740
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
The dark night of the soul is a very humbling experience. You feel less than abandoned and cast away from everyone, even God. You are torn down to the depths of hell; you think light is impossible and that you are not worthy of God’s graces. Sleep deprivation goes on for what seems forever. During the void, all your senses are taken away. You also think that whatever was causing your difficulty has ended at least a million times or so. Life becomes so difficult that you want to die just to be put out of your own misery. In my particular case, I had so much pressure and pain that my survival did not seem to be an option. I believe all this happened because I asked to awaken and remember who I really am. I also did this in the emotion. I was crying. The dark night of the soul is emptying your sorrow cup so that it can be filled with joy. Most of the beginning of my book was journalized, and I just copied it from my journals. But it helped set the stage for what was to come. In the rest of my book, I just told my story from my past or the present. To protect the innocent, I used first names or changed them. Until I asked to awaken and remember who I really am, almost nothing paranormal happened to me, and then it became a common occurrence. I do consider it a privilege to have gone through this experience, but you might not think so during the worst. All men die, but only a few men really learn how to live. The old fear-based Kathy did die; now I am walking in faith with Jesus at my side with his rod and staff that give me courage. You might even want to sit back and enjoy your misery; your experiences will be unique. I am also excited about extending joy and ecstasy to all I meet. This is a new time for a new millennium on a new earth to orchestrate it on. Just how much serendipity can the planet earth and universe hold? There is no limit! Fake your dream; it will come. Imagine your dream; it will come.

Book Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber weaves a tale of love and parenthood, as newlyweds struggle with blending families in this classic novel. 1105 Yakima Sreet Cedar Cove, Washington Dear Reader, You’ve probably heard that my wife has left me. Rachel’s pregnant, and she says she can’t handle the stress in our household anymore. My thirteen-year-old daughter, Jolene, is jealous of her. Maybe it’s my fault. As a widower I spoiled her— Jolene was reading over my shoulder just now and claims Rachel ruined everything. But that’s not true. The real question is: How can I get my wife back? I don’t even know where she is. She’s not with Teri Polgar or any of her other friends from the salon. The other question is…when will Jolene grow up and stop acting like such a brat? Of course, I’m not the only one in town with problems. Linc Wyse’s father-in-law is trying to destroy his business. And you know Charlotte Rhodes? Seems she’s becoming forgetful, and the family’s worried about her and Ben. Lots of other stuff going on—but Rachel is better at keeping up with it than I am. If you have any idea where my wife is, give me a call. Please. Bruce Peyton Previously published.
