As Dr. Grant explains in this empowering new book, every time white America comes down with a case of the sniffles, Black America gets walking pneumonia. This is especially true in the area of male-female relationships. Here Dr. Grant addresses not only the fundamental issues that affect all relationships but also the special issues that confront women of African descent. Filled with vivid examples and practical guidelines, The Best Kind of Loving covers: how a sister can find and/or improve intimacy in her life; how a sister can work through and resolve her disappointments and sense of emotional exhaustion; what a sister needs to know to resolve cultural differences in relationships with white men - or Black men from other countries; ways a sister can improve her ability to communicate her needs, feelings, and expectations effectively while encouraging men to do the same; and how a sister can discover the value and joys of self-empowerment.Drawing on the experiences of other women and her own down-to-earth observations, Dr. Grant explores the hot-and-heavy issues that arise in relationships between Black men and women, including money, work, mouth-battling, honesty, respect, stereotyping, and sexual intimacy.Covering virtually every aspect of being in a relationship from learning how to establish dialogues that don't turn into screaming matches to resolving inner conflicts that can destroy potentially good relationships to learning how women heal and protect themselves while avoiding men who cause them pain, Dr. Grant's practical and honest advice gives readers far-reaching solutions to the problems of keeping their hearts and their hopes alive.
