Songwriter, poet, and best-selling author Travis Hunter was named Author of the Year by readers of the Atlanta Daily World.

In The Hearts of Men, a reformed player, a workaholic trying to overcome his past, and a faithful husband diagnosed with lung cancer all struggle to be the men they hope to be. But life and human frailty have a way of throwing stumbling blocks before the best of intentions.

Any additional comments?

I was disappointed the first few minutes of listening to the book, but quickly changed my mind. It isn't an action-packed page turner, but enough is going on to keep you interested. A few of the conversations in the book made me think. That is what I appreciated about this story. This book was very well-written and had a purpose.

I'm glad that I listened to this book

This book was excellent. The story line kept me looking forward to my daily listen as I drove to work. The characters seem to come to life as the narrator told the tale. Excellent listen.

An audible must have!
