I read this book in less than 6 hours. I usually only read novels but a friend sent me this to read. I like that it was written in 2 voices. I felt like I was sitting at the kitchen table with the 2 authors as they conversed about important life issues. The writing style flowed and I was compelled to continue reading. This book opened my eyes to how I view myself and I believe it has started me on the road to positive change.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Friendship, February 14, 2008

By 

Hepp (Formerly of Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Apple You Were Fed (Paperback)

This truly is a book everyone should read. Girlfriends, pass it out to everyone you know. Kim and Andrea let us into their lives. Lives that we know as our own. We all have either a little Kim or Andrea in us. This is a journey created by two women who made the commitment of a true friendship, one of honesty, curiousity, and debate. The puzzle seems to be dumped out on the table and slowly and carefully put together before us. They travel down paths of personal growth together. It is amazing how these two opposites came together in the middle; not to apease one another but because the middle was where the truth could be found. Isn't that a lesson we could all learn? The dialogue is real, comfortable. I felt as if I was there having my 1-Equal & cream, cup of coffee right along with them.

This book is fantastic. I felt like I was sitting down for coffee and having a discusion with Kimberly and Andrea. The book is very insightful and thought provoking. I don't belive that fate brought these two women together, but I believe that Diving Intervention did. These women compliment each other in the beliefs as well as their writing skills. The book made me realize that as a parent you really do not know what your child is thinking and how innocent statements made out of love can actually make your child feel inadequate and unloved. My hope as a parent for other parents who read this book is that you step back and take a hard look at yourself and think about how what you say or do as a parent can impact your child for years and years in a negative way as well as a positive way. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels that they are not worthy and feel lacking in any aspect of their lives. How many parents really know if their child is a gauzer, ladder climber or cutout or if they are any of the above as well. THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK!!!. This book sheds light on how we behave in our daily lives, and possibly as to why we act the way we do. Thank you Kimberly and Andrea for sharing your most personal details of your lives.
