Well since my father wrote this book and it's all about him and my family, I guess I am totally biased on this one!

This book is real. No secrets are kept. No fake fasad is put up to look righteous or perfect. They reveal all their soul with their mistakes and sin. It is open to the core. And it moved me to seek Christ give up little sins I excuse because wickedness never was happiness.

This couple is a wonderful example of sticking to marriage when it gets hard and finding the light at the end of the tunnel. It shows that violating Covenants leads to years of struggle and pain that can only be healed by Jesus Christ.

Loanne's contribution was priceless. She endured so much and should be honored for her faith and success of her children. She is a hero. She was so strong. I admire her. It was so insightful to have her story told. In books like this, the story of family members rarely gets told.

Who should read this?
Me a faithful lds trying to live Covenants. It revealed the awefull consequences of sin. Inspired me to live Covenants and seek, find, and cling to Christ.

All who have been excommunicated for any reason. It provides hope and a good model for how to return.

All who struggle with any addiction. All the principles apply.

Spouses of those who have been excommunicated or who struggle with an addiction. . Loanne is a model of support, faithfulness, and love.

Really enjoyed this heart stirring work.

I think everyone should read this book, whether you or your spouse is struggling through an addiction or not. The Curtises are agreat example of imperfect people trying to be better and improve their lives and relationships. If there is an issue with pornography in your life then you should definitely read this book because it can help in the healing process and give you hope.

This book is helping me through some really rough times that I am going through right now. Loanne is an amazing woman, and I admire her sticking it out, because the reward in the end is well worth the trials. I have faith that if she can do it, than I can do it to.

Striking story that reveals the ongoing struggles of a pornography addict. The incredible faith and support of his wife and family has a bitter-sweet feeling to have me imagine what I would do in their situation.
