Customer Reviews

This intricately carved parable was truly remarkable and helped me learn we are all flawed, all want

This story parallels The Taming of the Shrew. Masterfully the author uses experiences in relationships to unravel human behavior, needs, and desires. To each complex problem there is a healthy resolution. I particularly appreciate the way she gently reassures readers that their feelings are normal: everyone deeply desires their parents approval, to be accepted and not rejected, to be known and not judged by their appearance, for their parents to be proud of them and not to have to earn love in order to feel worthy or good enough. The repercussion of these deep needs going unmet are explored and explained in a relatable way. This would be an excellent read 📖 for high school & college students. I cannot recommend it more highly. I loved this book with all my heart💛✨.
