I just finished this book and I thought it was great. Debbie titled it very well. I have read alot of these type stories and never has one reminded me of my life so much. Its nice to know some one else has felt the same pain as you and gotten past it with a happy filled life. I reccomend this book for everyone but exspecially if you have had something in your past that just seems to eat away at who you know you are...All the best for a great happy future for Debbie Williamson.

Signed a greatful reader

This is a very moving memoir. I found myself in tears several times. I can't imagine how someone can live that many years in such a poisonous marriage and still thrive. I would have liked to hear more about her spiritual experiences but maybe later she will write a book on that. Hopefully she will go to some classes and learn how to strengthen her psychic abilities.
Debbie crammed a lot in 167 pages. It feels like this book was much longer than that. I'm glad it seemed that way becuase I normally feel like short books are rushed and seem more like an idea rather than a book.

I loved this book. It grabbed my attention right away! I enjoyed every page and seeing the pictures of Debbie and her family really helped draw me into feeling like I know them and made it so much easier to understand and embrace all the family members. I appreciate how hard it must have been for Debbie to be so honest and open about herself and her life. I am sure it was difficult on her family also. Such courage deserves recognition. Gary must be a very special man. You both deserve to be happy. Thank you
Debbie Williamson for writing your book, it is one of my favorites. Best wishes to you and all of your family. Mary Jane Turnley
