NEW YORK, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- KIMANI PRESS marks the New Year with the launch of their very first nonfiction romance FRIENDS: A LOVE STORY, a book that spotlights the compelling real-life love story of Hollywood power couple Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance. Co-written with Hilary Beard, this inspirational story of love captivates readers with Angela's and Courtney's separate recollections -- from humble beginnings to past relationships and on to busy careers as their paths on the road to stardom cross and ultimately meet to form their loving family. FRIENDS: A LOVE STORY includes personal photos that chronicle their experiences, along with exclusive family photos of their young twins. This compelling memoir offers a rare peek into their lives, which have previously been private, and offers the reader valuable lessons for relationships and life.
Angela Bassett is a critically acclaimed actress of television, stage and film who won a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nomination for What's Love Got To Do With It, and Courtney B. Vance is a dramatic actor nominated for two Tony Awards and a recent costar on NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent with film credits including Space Cowboys and The Preacher's Wife. Angela and Courtney spent fourteen years brushing up against each other, experiencing the internal and external obstacles that often keep lovers apart. Together they share the candid experiences that led to a lifelong commitment between two friends who've known each other since their college days in the late 1980s at the prestigious Yale School of Drama. It was a dream come true for these two high-profile celebrities when they finally found love and happiness nearly twenty years later in each other's arms. Angela and Courtney's friendship- turned-touching love story is a tale worth sharing with the world.
FRIENDS: A LOVE STORY openly reveals the serendipitous events that occur when lovers are destined to unite. In these pages Angela and Courtney describe how two individuals gravitate toward each other in a society where men and women are assumed to inhabit different mental and emotional planets and, especially, in an industry that is notorious for its detrimental impact on romantic relationships. FRIENDS: A LOVE STORY invites readers to get up close and personal for the first time with this intriguing couple to see how this husband and wife team built a strong foundation of love that guided them through the ups and downs of stardom, in addition to weathering a family tragedy as they triumphed against the odds.
Told in alternating he said, she said chapters, the book takes a realistic but entertaining look at how friends can live parallel love lives and experience the typical male-female misunderstandings on their way to discovering and falling in love with each other. Altogether engaging, conversational, humorous and warm, FRIENDS: A LOVE STORY is also sprinkled with serious introspection. The final chapter combines the famous couple's voices as they share lessons for receiving and maintaining love.
