"This story has relevance to all people attempting to find meaningful unions. It exposes the pain of loss, the agony of guilt and the depth of crushing disappointment that some peoples' spirits are required to recover from if they are to survive. I am sure that this book will resonate with many who have weathered the battleground that romantic partnerships can become." ~ Sarah Key, Author of Tangled Weeds, The Dandelion Clock, The Butterfly Wind, and The Starlight Tide ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I have just finished your book and literally spent two days on my bed because I just couldn't put it down... Congratulations on your excellent achievement. I am reeling at the effect that this part of your life has had on me - you see I too have a 'Gareth' in my life. Have had for the last 38 years. Your intimate and truthful revelation of your experiences has rocked my foundation and made me realise just how much we sacrifice of our lives and ourselves for the sake of our families. There are so many parallels in your life and mine that I could have been reading my own life story in some parts of your book." ~ L Kirsten, author and ghostwriter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I have heard so many people say, 'I picked up this book and couldn't put it down'... I left a get together yesterday and said I have a book I want to start reading... Well I put it on my sister's night stand this morning and said,"This is a must read!" I honestly did not put it down! Brilliant read, is all I can say!" ~ Verna Van Rensburg ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I finished your book and was so moved. I have to admit I was crying copiously at the end. But it is ultimately a book of triumph and healing and I can’t tell you how moved I was. It was beautifully written and moved to a climax that was quite riveting. I salute you!" ~ Teresa Weinfas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
