[Lori Bamber · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the editor of this deeply valuable book, I've read it many, many times. Each time I find something new to marvel at in terms of its ability to gently point its readers toward healing. Each of us carries some trauma from childhood that affects our relationships; each of us can benefit enormously from learning how to manage the defensiveness, shame and triggers we bring to love.

The book is accessibly written, like having coffee with a very wise friend who has been there before and is willing to share all.

This is one of the books I wish everyone would read at least once. It's a true driver of greater happiness.

There are nice personal anecdotes to back up Danielle's learnings and lessons. She gets the reader on her side, therefore believing in what she is telling you. Well written and heartfelt, you get the sense she really wants to help others, and she is very honest and vulnerable.
