Following his best-selling How To Love a Black Man (Warner, 1996), Elmore now speaks to men in a straightforward manner about how to have a truly loving and mutually satisfying relationship with the black women they love. Based on his experience as a psychotherapist, ordained minister, couples counselor, and husband, Elmore translates the needs and desires of black women into a language men will understand. He points out the advantages of men "rolling up their sleeves" and truly working for a love that is balanced, as well as the disadvantages of failing to do so. Well organized and written in a light, humorous tone, the book includes clear and practical ways for earning a black woman's everlasting love, respect, and admiration. Its audience shouldn't be limited to black men who love or want to love black women‘it can be helpful to men of all races. Highly recommended for all public libraries and psychology collections.‘Demetria A. Harvin, Bronx, NY
