relationship distress… Excellent.”—Christopher L. Hayes, author of

lives.”—Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to

the same problems the reader is going through.”—Publishers
Weekly

communication, respect, intimacy, and love can transform the
frustration of being stuck into a decision that feels
right.”—Booklist

calls ‘the pain and waste of relationship
ambivalence.’”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

helpful—by asking the right questions, by clarifying the
answers.”—Olga Silverstein, family therapist, author of The Courage
to Raise Good Men
