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.

An audible must have!

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.

Straight To The Hearts of Women

This is a feel good, get your mind to thinking, laughing, crying , and all of the emotions in between book. I loved the naration. I am from Philadelphia, and many of the scenarios in this novel hit very near close to home. I was very overcome with emotion on during this novel. Mr. Hunter, You knocked this one out of the ball park... Thank you!!! I really needed this. I think women everywhere will love this novel.

I'm glad that I listened to this book

Would you try another book from Travis Hunter and/or Ezra Knight?

Yes, I would.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I kind of expected it. It gave the book closure, but it was a little sad.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes, I would

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.
