Worth your time and money

I had to share how shocked I was to find out that I was a Daddy's girl, even though I had grown up with out a Father firgure most of my life. This book has helped me confront my own self destructive patterns as a single woman always attracting the Mommy Boy; I FINALLY understand why, thanks to the honest and detailed descriptions in this book. Thank you Joseph and Elizabeth for sharing the TRUTH! Diana, O.P., FL.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful book

The title really caught my attention. It describes my marital relationship perfectly. The book was a joy to read, especially the last chapter titled, "Making a Difference". On almost every page in that chapter I highlighted a sentence or two. Thank you both for such an insightful book.

Powerful, compassionate and insightful

On second reading I discovered that this book is not just for Mama's Boys and Daddy's Girls, but has wisdom and insight to offer anyone in a serious relationship or hoping for one. I found the authors' depth of understanding of Bert Hellinger's work addressing relationship with self-acceptance, healing and self love to be another invaluable aspect of this book. I think it is an excellent guide to bringing love and understanding into any relationship and into one's own life. RC Mulligan
