About this ebook

Discover your true self and find hope beyond your messy relationships!

As a mental health therapist, Judy prepares to see her next client. As a wife, she falls apart in the midst of her husband’s psychosis. His inpatient psychiatrist says, “This is going to be a hard case”.

Judy’s first marriage of 29 years ended in divorce after toxic patterns of chronic bitterness. Facing the shame of her past and mothering four children, she recognizes divine invitations toward her authentic self. After four years into a new marriage with her beloved dance partner, Judy suddenly faces frightful realities.

Can Judy’s second marriage recover from damage caused by his psychosis?

      I really liked the author's honesty and sincerity in writing about her life experiences. That must've been hard to do considering she has a clinical practice and may not want to expose all of her secrets. But I appreciated her authentic approach and really learned a lot from her experience. I believe this is the first time I've read an account like this, where a therapist shared the intricacies and struggles of her own relationships. I felt myself being in her shoes and learned how difficult it is to navigate a relationship with someone who is experiencing a different reality. I commend the author's patience, love and dedication towards her spouse and their continuing dance together. Very interesting read and very well-written book!
