Audrey B. Chapman goes where most other authors cannot--into the Black experience--and comes out with advice tailor-made to our experience and culture. Where other books would stress cute lingerie or "communication", this book goes into the heart of where relationships in the Black community go wrong...from the cradle. She takes the time to explore the issues from the Black female/Black male point of view, and offers gentle, compassionate advice that uplifts all and insults none. If you have given up on Black men/Black women and feel as if you have to go it alone or "cross over" to find a good relationship, then this book is for you. It can also help you to repair a worsening relationship by helping to confront the real issues surrounding it. This is easily worth 10 times more than what you may pay for it, and should be THE definitive book for Blacks trying to have a decent, honest, loving union. For yourself, your lover and for the next generation, BUY IT, READ IT AND TREASURE IT!!! You won't be sorry!!!

This was a very enlighting book. Lots of information to tell if you need to change your own ways or help your partner to realize what they may be doing. I got my fiance to read some of it. Of course men don't want to admit or to see that anything is wrong, but I saw many things that have been carried on from childhood that affect the relationship. I advise you to read this if but for nothing else, to learn somethings about yourself in the process.

Going through my own personal relationship turmoils, this book, as soon as I began chapter 1, spoke directly toward my situation. I haven't made it far, but I'm deeply grateful for the insight it has given me that pertains to my own, and apparently countless lives and situations of others...

This book is well written and very easy to read. Chapman gets down to what blocks, hinders, and prevents black men and women from having a positive, healthy, stable relationship. She deals with childhood neglect or problem issues that occurred in our past, and how those issue effect our relationships.
