relationships in my life and many of the arguments of my past -
both those that happened, and those that didn't, but should have -
in an entirely new light. Dr. Stern is deeply empathetic and
insightful on the pressures and power struggles in relationships
that can rob you of your sense ofreality--if you let them. Dr.
Stern's book is a powerful, ethical resource for all of us who have
struggled to find common ground with others while remaining true to
ourselves. It will be particularly valuable for young women, who
are so frequently socialized to doubt themselves, distrust their

book about finding your voice. I can't think of a more profound
message than this.
