Like a candle in the darkness.

This much-needed book is priceless for someone who's recovering from a toxic relationship, or trying to avoid having one. The author writes in a very down-to-earth style, and he frequently lets readers know about his own personal "Zelda" experiences. Although toxic relationships are romanticized by books, TV shows, movies, etc...those who have ever been in one know that they're anything but romantic. There is nothing loving about toxicity. The author stumbled upon the concept of this book after being involved in a toxic relationship, and being reminded by a colleague of Zelda & Scott Fitzgerald's lethal relationship and its similarities to his own. It's obvious that this book was a true labor of love and self-discovery for the author, and God bless him for using his experiences as a mate, counselor, observer, and recovering affliction addict to help others.
