From the back cover: Harriet Goldhor Lerner, a psychotherapist at the Menninger Foundation, illuminates the causes and patterns of anger while providing specific strategies for making meaningful and lasting change in important relationships. Basing her conclusions on a decade of clinical investigations and drawing on recent findings from psychoanalytic and family systems theory, she illustrates how, and why, our anger (be it vented through fighting and blaming or silence and emotional distancing) often protects rather than challenges existing relationship dynamics. And she explains the difficulties women have not only in getting angry but also in using their anger to gain a stronger, and more independent, sense of self.

Sweet story as only Anne Tyler can tell it!

Great, very believable characters. Even though it's about teenagers, I didn't feel "too old" to understand and appreciate their love story.

Very thorough, interesting tips for updating, selling, negotiating. Valuable information even if you're not planning to sell any time soon.

This book, though unlike any of Siddons' other novels that I've read, really drew me in. Eerie!

Set in the vast and unforgiving prairie of eastern Montana from 1916 to 1946, In Open Spaces is the compelling story of the Arbuckle brothers. With breathtaking descriptions of the Montana landscape, Russell Rowland masterfully weaves a fascinating tale of the psychological wars that can rip a family apart, and, ultimately, the redemption that can bring them back together.

Great read--behind the scenes during the Galveston hurricane of 1900. Some fascinating facts about hurricanes, the National Weather Service, and the real reason why 6,000 people didn't survive.

I really enjoyed Wide Saragasso Sea, which tells the "back story" of Mr. Rochester's wife from the classic, Jane Eyre.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. The story is fabulous, and I learned a great deal about Africa.

The topic of this novel--identical twin sisters who have ESP--intrigued me, and I'm glad I read it. The book is extremely well written. The characters are believable, and although I found the unfolding of the story to be a bit dry, at least it wasn't overly emotional--I didn't feel that I was reading a soap opera in print. Would definitely recommend, especially for readers who are interested in the topic and/or with connections to St. Louis, which features prominently as well.

This book is hilarious--had me laughing so hard I had trouble sitting up straight! Unfortunately now out of print.
