Review
Trust me; this book could save your life. From the moment I read the first line 'I come from a family of wounded women' I was hooked. Gentle, wise and compassionate, Dena takes you by the hand and takes you on a journey that will change you forever. --Erin Pizzey, International author, poet and playwright and founder of the refuges for women and children who have been subject to domestic violence.

I found it unusual in that I was not jerked every few minutes by a typo, grammatical error or an infelicity of language. It reads beautifully, solidly, so that you are kicked up to a higher level without having to deal with the mechanics of language. --Michael Glickman, Architect, Inventor, author and playwright. Michael has an international reputation for his research into the corn circle phenomenon and has travelled, lectured and broadcast extensively on the topic

This book is both an emotional and intellectual inspiration to those who have experienced the pain of feeling unloved and abused. It provides a female perspective on what it feels like to have lived through such events and also on what it takes to overcome the past. The author uses her own experiences and that of her contributors sensitively to highlight the ups and downs of the journey towards healing while providing a range of stages required to overcome the legacy that such events leave. Academic rigour and compassion come together. --Gladeana McMahon, Fellow of the British Association for Counselling, Association for Coaching and Co-Director of the Centre for Stress Management.

`Dena shows remarkable humanity in her perception of a woman's dilemma and a remarkable ability to see the synchronicity which pulls a universal strategy out of each of their narratives. What I think is really enlightening about the book is the way she takes the individual circumstance - a silk thread if you like - and instead of simply setting it up as a separate case, she takes the individual strands and twists them into an elaborate, thick, silken chord so that each one contributes to the strength of the whole. She extracts from each individual case a strategy of wisdom.'
