A New Nigerian Romance Novel by MyneWhite1(f): 12:00am On Dec 21, 2009
The title of the novel is A Heart to Mend!

The book is available from http://www.authorhouse.com/Bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=67912

A sample can be viewed at http://www.freado.com/book/5186/A-Heart-to-Mend-Paperback

[B]A HEART TO MEND[/B] narrates the relationship between Gladys and Edward and offers a unique reading experience. Direct and action packed, the masterful use of emotion and suspense will keep readers totally engrossed and guessing till the end.

Sheltered Gladys Eborah has spent most of her life in a suburb of Enugu brought up in a deprived single parent household after losing her father as a young girl. After finishing her education, she moves to Lagos to seek a job and moves in with an estranged aunt who now wants to be forgiven for all perceived wrongs. Gladys suspects Aunt Isioma abandoned them out of disdain for their poverty, and has the uneasy role of the bridge between both families.

Her new friendships and career achievements gradually transition Gladys into an independent young woman. Soon, she begins to fall for wealthy Edward Bestman who, though physically attracted to her, is emotionally unavailable. Edward is very wealthy, but he is haunted by the past of his illegitimate birth and other secrets he will not share.

The themes of premarital sex, social class mobility, and romantic ups and downs that mark a budding love are fully explored. However, Myne Whitman takes the story even further. Some unnamed people are about to take over Edward’s business empire and Gladys is implicated. Who are these people who want to betray him and destroy their happiness?

[B]A HEART TO MEND[/B] will bring tears to the eyes and cheers at the end especially for those who have experienced the search for a career or tumultuous family and emotional relationships. Readers will be pleasantly surprised by the description of Lagos, the Nigerian stock market, and other business intrigues.

http://nzesylva./2010/01/05/review-of-the-book-a-heart-to-mend/: Myne Whitman’s book, A Heart to Mend, makes a bold statement to the contrary. It shows that we do not only fall in love and marry for love, we also use love to conquer a wide range of situations that could have ordinarily been a bit difficult to shoulder alone.

Thank you very much Semid4lyfe, I appreciate.
Re: A New Nigerian Romance Novel by Nobody: 9:20am On Jan 12, 2010
it really is cool to meet someone who's just written a book. Is this your first? How did it start? was it difficult writing it? and have you chosen romance simply because it's the genre in which you are most interested? are there philosophical undertones in your book? are you interested in philosophy? who are you modeled after?

Thank you Sauer,

This is my first book and it started from a short story. It was a bit difficult and emotionally taxing being a romantic fiction. There were also parts of the business angle I had to do a lot of research to polish to a knowledgeable standard.

Yes, romance is my preferred field of writing and I use that genre to pass across other themes I like. These themes are more sociological but also philosophical. Is love unconditional? What things are unforgivable? Is revenge acceptable and stuff like that.

I think I may be modeled after Joan Collins or Nora Roberts. In the Nigerian setting, maybe a more contemporary Helen Ovbiagele. She wrote some romance Pacesetters.
