5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightenment!, June 21, 2001

This review is from: Enlightening Cinderella: Beyond the Prince Charming Fantasy (Paperback)

What a gift this book has been! Enlightening Cinderella spoke to me in a way that no book has...ever! As a young professional woman in a serious relationship with "road blocks" to overcome, this book helped me understand the importance and significance of my(and my partner's)childhood and the way it effects the decisions we make in our relationship-- and the way we treat each other!! Told through Cinderella's eyes-- 10 years after she meets her Prince Charming, this book is not only a well written story, but fundamentally fantastic and directly applicable in my relationship. I felt as if Ms. Harrill wrote the book specifically for me and my Love. I have read many paragraphs out loud at night in bed to my Love...not believeing the truth of the words as they pass through my lips. If you are in love and don't understand why your relationship is not "Happily Ever After", I encourage you to read this book...slowly. Relish every word, savor every chapter, as you become to know your true self.

5.0 out of 5 stars My husband realized it wasn't my fault, March 12, 2002

This review is from: Enlightening Cinderella: Beyond the Prince Charming Fantasy (Paperback)

Accessible. Lighthearted but deeply wise. I read this book on a friend's recommendation because my husband is having a mid-life crisis. I got him to read this book and he said, "Oh, I've been projecting." In other words, he was blaming me for things about himself that he didn't like. It was an important step in a living nightmare that came after 15 years of a mostly wonderful marriage. If only we all took classes in what a mature marriage looks like -- we see our parents' marriages but there is much they don't reveal to children. This book fills that gap. Read it early -- before you *need* to read it. At first, we don't talk with others because we feel shame. But this book helps you see how common these painful problems really are. You aren't alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be included in every New Marriage, October 11, 2001

Fred E Kunisch (Houston, TX. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enlightening Cinderella: Beyond the Prince Charming Fantasy (Paperback)

The book was first read by the woman that I am involved with. She really enjoyed reading it and was able to understand more about our relationship. I read the book a couple months later and it also gave me more understanding about our problems between us. The book does stress how important a third neutral party can be of great help and as you might of guess unless you believe in Fairy Godmothers the third party is best left up to an Professional Therapist.
