The Timeshare is an important book that humanizes and compassionately deals with common issues that are rarely discussed. By removing the stigma around mental illness, diversity in human sexuality and relationship orientation, the author helps us all confront and even heal from the belief that different is wrong. This is a timely book for people living with differences as well as their partners and caregivers. The Timeshare will also be interesting and eye-opening for anyone is wants a deeper understanding of the multiple ways that the mind and love can be expressed.

The Timeshare is a powerfully written page turner. You will find yourself lost in the rich and delicious story and in the wonderful depth of each character. As a licensed counselor who has been working with clients for 40 years, I have never read a book that so beautifully demystifies what D.I.D. is and brings a

wellspring of insight and understanding. The Timeshare is a testament to the strength, determination and resilience of the human spirit. You will find yourself laughing, crying and gasping throughout the story. It has instantly become one of my favorites–a book that I believe will revolutionize the way people perceive and understand the warriors of spirit that many have misunderstood. I give this treasure my highest recommendation.

The Timeshare was a revelation for me. Through it, I have come to better understand my spouse–learning that she was coping with trauma that I had not been aware existed. It was healing to to understand that I could trigger her desperation but not necessarily be the root cause. The Timeshare helped me better understand that I’m not alone in dealing with these issues and experiences, and it filled me with compassion by seeing things through her eyes. The book is wonderfully enlightening and a fun thriller to read!

I fell in love with the characters in The Timeshare and was immediately hooked. I laughed with them, cried with them and found myself celebrating victories with them. If you’re looking for a compelling story of family and healing that reminds us that all of our inner selves deserve to be loved and celebrated, this is a great book for you. Once you start reading, you won’t want to put it down.
