What People Are Saying

"After 45 years of marriage, I didn't believe that I would get a lot of fresh insights about romantic love from a book. I was wrong. I learned a lot. And laughed a lot."
Al Harberg, president, DP Directory, Inc.

"Insightful, witty, pragmatic, and heart-warming."
Pamela Nagami, M.D.
Author of "The Woman with the Worm in Her Head"

"For Better - Or What?" is all about relationships - how good relationships work, and how to approach problems, disagreements and issues to resolve them in a positive way that will nurture the relationship and leave both parties better and stronger. Her section on how to avoid infidelity is especially good, with the most realistic, pointed and useful advice I've seen on the subject. If you are looking to strengthen your current relationship, get tips on future relationships, or just want a good read, "Better - Or What?" is for you.
