Better Man

Bruce Langdon

Sinossi

Better Man describes one man's journey through romantic relationships.  The author navigates college, graduate school, and then present day as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.  This book is a story about love, heartbreak, and the difficult lessons learned while traveling the treacherous road of dating.  Striving to become a better man, the author learns about his own values, what he's looking for in a partner, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is run.  Getting through break-ups, navigating partners with differing values, and having the realization that just because sparks fly when you meet doesn’t always mean it’s meant to be – these are just a few of the harder truths the author learns along the way.  Better Man is not a better-than-revenge book, geared towards making fun of exes or blaming the innocent.  It’s a first-hand account of three major relationships, told through the eyes of the author as he experienced them.  There’s a shift in perspective from one’s early 20’s into their mid-30’s, and realizations are made…past experiences are seen with a newly discovered clarity. 
 
As the author gets further in his study of psychology and gains a greater understanding of things like communication and what it means for a relationship to be ‘healthy’, his relationships continue to grow increasingly toxic.  Will he throw in the towel and simply decide it’s best to assume he’s had his last kiss?  Or dust himself off and begin again?  If this was a movie, should it end like a fairytale or something more sad…beautiful…tragic?  Will the author end up healing from his past relationships and become the better man he set out to be?  Or be forever haunted? 
 
Let’s hope there’s a hopeless ‘new’ romantic on the other side of the door…so to speak…now...on to the story of us…

Pages from the Book of Broken...

Katy Jackson

Emmalynn Gallagher threw caution to the wind once—and found herself in the middle of a tornado. Needless to say, she won't be doing that again. Now she fills her life with plans and to-do lists. Having moved home for a fresh start, Emma's facing the ultimate re-do list when she abruptly comes face to face with Aubrey Glass, the source of Emma's teenage yearning. 
 
 
 
Aubrey wouldn't recognize yearning if it tornadoed into her face, but she does recognize Emma . . . even if she wishes she didn't. Socializing, especially with her past, is Aubrey's least favorite activity. She's tender in spots no one can see and would prefer to fade into the background. 
 
 
 
Amidst the backdrop of towering shelves of books and the persistent aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Emma and Aubrey navigate their post-high school reunion. With plenty of fumbles and missteps, it doesn't seem likely that they'll manage to merge their paths, nor does it always seem that they want to . . . until suddenly, it's the only thing that makes sense to either one of them.
