“With respect to major life change, there's little to equal first-hand experience. Sidestepping the cold, clinical approach to self-help, Marilyn Barnicke Belleghem delves into her own experience, as a traveler, a therapist, and one who has survived family upheaval. The result is a volume of “quests”, both great and small, which gently encourage readers to step outside their own comfort zones.” Amy Leask, freelance writer, educator.

“Her book will shine like a torch for her readers, guiding them from the depths of her despair to the triumph of her will. It is a story of emotional destruction and slow, pains-taking spiritual rebuilding." Barbara Bamberger Scott writer, reviewer, traveler. www.curledup.com

“Marilyn is unexpectedly candid and honest as she reveals her innermost doubts about herself and her husband. She questions, consoles, reprimands and encourages herself to find her own way and to be confident in her ability to not just cope but succeed. Her struggle leads her to stand up for herself without putting the other down, to ask for what she wants not expecting others to fulfill her needs, to not feel guilty for being independent and to not feel resentful when others do not want what she does. It is a book for those seeking to establish an honest open trusting communication. Each of us knows someone who would benefit from reading this book.” Marie Adams Ed.D., professor Ontario, Canada. www.marieadams.com
