Shadow of a Broken Man
Author: George C. Chesbro

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
A former circus performer and criminology professor becomes a PI in “one of the best detective novels of the year” (TheNew York Times Book Review). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Now a detective in New York City, Mongo is hired by the widow of a famous architect to find out if her husband is really dead—because a new building just went up and it looks like his work. As Mongo begins to uncover the surprising truth, his investigation gives a whole new meaning to an architect’s façade. The intrepid sleuth will need all of his extraordinary skills to find his man without losing his own life, as some very powerful forces want to send him back to the drawing board. With a freewheeling blend of mystery and science fiction elements, author George C. Chesbro introduces the man called Mongo, “the most engaging detective in decades” (Library Journal). Shadow of a Broken Man is the 1st book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Book Description
FREEDOM. He finally tastes it, and it's everything he didn't imagine... Scott thinks he's hit the life lottery when his parents drop him off at the college dormitory. No more rules. No one watching his every move. Even better, he's free to live out his secret fantasies. And he plans to play. Hard. Dirty. Rough. Until he meets Troy - the sexy, take-charge guy living across the hall - who turns out to be just as damaged as he is. Scott doesn't want Troy's body or his heart. Just his friendship, which becomes intense and all-consuming. And it's exactly what Scott needs: someone he can finally trust who won't screw him over. Again. But a smooth-talking blond, bartering for Scott's attention, slowly begins to tear them apart as both men navigate the turbulent years called growing up. Yet no matter what is thrown at them - first love, heartbreaking loss, family drama - Scott and Troy's bond seems unbreakable. But even best friends have secrets. Until it isn't a secret anymore. And when it explodes, it's not easy to pick up the pieces and keep going. Not when they find themselves challenging deep-rooted assumptions about each other and themselves... Raw and rich in emotion, Broken Man Broke is a provocative coming-of-age story about unspoken desires, belonging, and the hopes that hold us together as easily as they can tear us apart.

How to Fix a Broken Heart
Author: Guy Winch
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501120131
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted. Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it. Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant. Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
