"When it comes to men and romance, today's women ask for too much - and settle for too little " So says best selling author and popular nationally syndicated columnist Betsy Hart in her provocative book, From The Hart. Hart argues that while women too often pine for the caricature of romance found in chick flicks - "romantic pornography" Hart calls them - they too often don't dare ask for what they really want from a man: The commitment of marriage. "That's crazy " Hart says. And so From The Hart is a much needed wake-up call for a culture deeply conflicted and confused about what it means to love, and to value marriage. With passion, wisdom and humor, this single mom - herself devastated when her husband left her and their four young children in 2004 - demonstrates that she hasn't given up on lasting love. In this collection of some three dozen of her most compelling essays on the topic written during her single years, it's clear she believes men and women are wonderfully different and really do need each other; marriage matters; and real romance is more and better than anything seen in today's typical romantic comedy. The good news? In the print version of From The Hart, expanded from the #1 best selling Kindle version, Hart introduces for the first time her fiance Tom and their story. Really. As featured on "Fox and Friends," Bill Bennett's "Morning in America," "The Laura Ingraham Show," and in "The Huffington Post," It's all here. Straight from the Hart.
