—J.H., Washington, D.C.
“Until your book I didn’t feel as though anyone ever understood the depth and intensity of my feelings about being with my parents…. I feel validated.”
—M.O.
“I was particularly gratified to read the section on forgiveness not being necessary to the healing process—something I’d felt instinctively to be true but felt guilty about.”
—M.H., Arizona
“What an enlightening and liberating book! It’s the first self-help book I have read where I truly recognized myself immediately…. This book gave me an excellent perspective of how controlling behaviors are passed down from generation to generation.”
—D.W.
“You provide hope and you make the reader believe that things can change as you guide the reader to work toward the healing process.”
—F.K., New York
“I turn fifty years old this year and I always felt something was wrong with me…. When I opened your book, every word seemed to fit, and my feelings finally made sense. I just had to tell you how much it has meant to me to finally find someone who understands—I’m not alone and I’m not crazy.”
—M.M.
