Reseñas de la Crítica

"I regularly provide copies of Linda's book to my clients who are facing this challenge. Unanimously they report, 'That [book] was very helpful.'" (Earl D. Wilson, PhD., author Steering Clear, and Restoring the Fallen)

"This is the most succinct collection of wisdom for helping the unfaithful that I have seen for couples trying to pick up the pieces of their lives after affairs." (Lance Brown, M.A., Minister of Care, Chapel Hill Presbyterian)

The topic speaks for itself

I read this book as the hurt spouse to see if these are things I'd like to hear from my spouse and it was very good advice. I needed to know if I had unreasonable expectations from him. I recommend this for anyone dealing with this topic to get it sooner than later. Maybe even before the bomb drops to avoid as much damage as possible from the get go. If you did wrong this is a good start to try and pick up the broken pieces.
