Making a Difference,
By Helga Cherrybon (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Permission Not Granted How People Raised in Crisis Oriented Families Carry Their Child (Hardcover)
I read Dr. McKenna's book at a time in my life when I had started to question the way I was relating to my family and other people. The book helped me see that there are better ways available to relate to others. It is a practical guide for anyone trying to achieve a happier and more fulfilling life. It has made a difference in my life.
