Review: This goes right into my Top 5 or 10 favorite books ever of any genre. Are you, or do you know, one of those people who knows something is definitely very OFF about your entire life or a major part of it, but you haven't the foggiest idea about where to start to identify and fix it all? This book is square one. If you are, or are ready to be, in touch with your real emotions at all in even the tiniest way, you will be moved: to laughter, tears, healing, the start of radical, fundamental change deep within your person.

Summary: Ideal for anyone who's ever even thought of Love!
Review: This is an amazing book. Just finished it and am getting ready to start it again--with notepad and marker in hand! Beyond the easy-to-read fairly tale is a book of immense insight, with lessons that don't seem like lessons, for everyone who's ever considered being in love, loving someone or is waiting for his or her "prince". You can get as much or as little from the story as you choose or are ready for, and still be way ahead of where you were before you picked it up. Wherever you are on the Path of Truth, whether you're still in the Sea of Emotion, or still reading fairly tales This Book Is For You!!! I cannot recommend this book enough--and already have to just about everyone I meet! I don't imagine I will ever be without a copy of this book. Thank You, Marcia Grad!

Summary: When You Both Put Him First in the Marriage
Review: While still fearful of "explosions" spewing forth my now "ex" Prince Charming, I prefer not to attach my name to this review. However, after calling the author to tell her how this book helped me re-claim my sanity and promising to share my epiphany with others, I hope Marcia Grad Powers recognizes my hometown and sees that I'm making good on that promise. For 26 years I thought it was me, that I had done something to precipitate the the verbal abuse and emotional blackmail. It wasn't until I saw it stated -- right there in black and white -- that I was the victim of a form of domestic violence that I accepted the truth in the situation. The Prince, indeed, was not a very nice fellow behind closed doors but had me convinced it wasn't his fault -- he was a victim of his upbringing. Well take a number buddy -- aren't we all? This book made me realize that as adults, we all have choices. I chose to stay for all the wrong reasons until one day I realized I needed help to find out why, and left. He chose to run from his problems, and straight to his addictions, without ever doing his homework to avoid repeating the same ill-advised pattern he'd turned to before. While I'm still in recovery trying to reclaim my self esteem and recognize the unhealthy NEED I had to be in a relationship, my heart hurts for what could have been. But truly, it never was. As the book so aptly illustrated, the Prince was broken long before I met him and there wasn't anything I could do to fix him. I almost lost myself trying, both physically and emotionally, but I've come to see that no one could have loved him enough to EVER make him happy -- not even the girlfriend who, as the author explains, is just not as far along in the evolutionary process as I am to see what she's in for. Some day, once my heart is fully healed, I'll probably thank him for setting me free from having to constantly walk upon all those egg shells for so many years. The energy that took also took a toll. I'm just now beginning to realize that life doesn't have to be so hard and that when someone tells you that you're too good for them....BELIEVE IT!!! Thank you Marcia Powers for helping me see I wasn't crazy, I was just living with "crazy making" behavior. After almost drowing in the sea of emotion, I have become re-aquainted with an old friend -- me! I told my therapist to order a hundred copies of this book and give one to every woman who comes in wondering what happened to the fairy tale. When you know there were enough versions of what you thought was soley "your" story to warrant someone writing a book about it, you can stop beating yourself up and get on with the healing process. What you were suffering from is actually called something, it's real, you're not imagining it, and it's not healthy. Get help. Get out. Get this book!
