As a woman, it’s hard to figure out men let alone know what’s in their hearts.  Differences in men and women and how they deal with life’s issues, has been a leading cause in relationship issues since Ancient History. 

However, we don’t have to look any further for help in understanding these fragile but strong hearts.  Thanks to the help of best selling author, Travis Hunter, the “Hearts of Men” are symbolized to us in his latest release “A One Woman Man”. 

Travis journeys in to the heart of the matter and dispels the belief that all men want to bed as many women as possible and never find true love.

In this well written, page turning, realistic tale of family holding together what appears to be dysfunction, the Dupree men hold it together.

Dallas Dupree, an orphan, sought for a better life for himself and for those less fortunate, but didn’t move to modern suburbia to do it.  His family thinks he is crazy when he sets shop up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Atlanta. 

His soul mate, Yasmin, dies from complications shortly after giving birth to their daughter Aja.  Dallas takes on the role of both mother and father to his child and throws himself into Aja and to the students at Alonzo Crim High School. 

Priest Dupree is the family savior.  Being one of Atlanta’s biggest drug pins, Priest is living the highlife, with much disapproval from his family. 

Carmen LaCour is a doctor married to most wonderful man in the world.  She has been chosen, involuntarily, to take care of her dead brother’s, Antione, niece after her good for nothing mother, LaQuita, decides she no longer wants to be bothered by sixteen year old Kameka.

            Kameka, who can’t take life a mother who doesn’t want her, and her well to do bourgous aunt, Carmen, she gets mixed up with Kitty the pimp and transitions to a life of prostitution.

Their worlds begin to unfold as drama swoops down like a thief in the night, revealing secret after secret.

Mr. Hunter has done a superb job of expression in his newest work, which expounds upon how men deal with male and female relationships, all the while holding on to family.   He touches on how letting go, releases your heart to love again.

            This book will have you turning page after page wondering what will happen next, guaranteeing that you will read this book in one sitting.  Just when you thought you had the book figured out, you find out that everything and everybody is not as it seems.
