Book Description

February 2000
For what ails a broken heart, there is only time.

Healing Hearts, however, is a potent salve. A collection of contemporary and classic stories, essays, and poems, Healing Hearts offers comfort and counsel for enduring the lonely experience of breaking up. From Diane Ackerman to Thomas Moore, from Lord Byron to Raymond Carver, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez to John Gray, this eclectic mix of passionate writers ponders the universal but often unspoken feelings that come with separating from the person you love.

With insight and unexpected humor, this unusual collection validates the confusion and sting, the sadness and regret we all feel at breaking up. Literary and curative, it is a companion for moving on from unsuccessful relationships with wisdom and understanding.

This review is from: Healing Hearts: Compassionate Writers on Breaking Up (Hardcover)
This book was horrible. It was so bad, I didn't even try to resell it, I threw it in the recycle bin. The stories are all about how one half of the couple is a total loser, I suppose in an effort to get you to use anger and hatred to mask your sorrow. Don't poison your mind with this book.
