Like many others, I read this a very long time ago! It was my first step toward knowing me and learning how free life could feel! That was over 30 yrs ago, yet I still refer to it.

THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE. The most important investment I ever made in myself, was getting this book. Invaluable information and eye opening revelations. I learned more about myself in this book than I had in my whole life prior. I learned that I wasn't fated to live that way... I NEVER KNEW I HAD A CHOICE until Melody Beattie showed me the truth!
