Hi, and welcome to my review page! I am so pleased and proud to share my reviews that many of my viewers, audiences and readers have written about my books, speaking, blog and website. More can be found on Amazon.com where you can purchase my books, THE MYTH OF THE MAIDEN: On Being a Woman and WHY DID SHE JUMP? My Daughter’s Battle with Bipolar Disorder.
I encourage you to write your own review as it helps me to better understand what you as the readers can offer to improve the site and the speaking engagements. It also enlightens others who read your reviews to better acquaint them with my services, events, books, and presentations. It is through you, my viewers that the word is spread that gives me an opportunity to help others who are seeking information and resources. It is my mission to help those who have struggled with mental illness as well as those who have lost loved ones due to the insidious illnesses that often result in suicide. My hope is to take the shame and stigma out of mental illness and to improve the quality of care for mental illness.
THE MYTH OF THE MAIDEN: On Being A Woman is an autobiographical book that chronicles my life from the Victorian Age, the fifties when women were expected to marry, have children and live happily ever after only to discover that it was a myth. I crossed the bridge to and through the feminine movement when women were expected to become “super women”, managing motherhood and career successfully; another myth. These two books characterize my personal and professional growth and development and my journey to healing, wholeness, and enlightenment.
Thank you in advance for leaving a review!
