When someone thinks of a “broken heart,” they usually think of romantic heartbreak. It’s an experience that nearly everyone has had and to which nearly anyone can relate.

Selina Meade’s Life Lessons from a Broken Heart focuses on romantic heartbreak. It’s a self-help book written from Meade's point of view as a heterosexual woman, with a strong faith in God, who's looking for a life partner with whom to have a family. As such, the perspective is aimed at a specific audience that shares the same values, but there are some life lessons within the book that are wider-reaching, which keeps the author from isolating other readers.
