"This was recommended by well meaning friends - and I started to read it with great reluctance. Surprisingly found it to be a wise little book. A look at choices made in relationships; being honest and authentic, accepting the feelings of joy, pleasure, sadness, grief etc that come with living. " — Linda (4 out of 5 stars)
