Publisher's Synopsis
In this deeply therapeutic yet intimately personal book of reflection and affirmation, patterns and growth, Lois Wadas takes the reader on a journey of introspection that's all about relationships, growth, and forgiveness, especially of parents and self.
Many of us present a façade of competent independence when inside we are really needy children. Calm when we are riddled with fear and anxiety. Anger when we really want to cry. We float from relationship to relationship, none of them turning out well. We blame the other. We blame our parents. But our parents did the best they could. None of us came with a set of instructions. Most of us are doing the best we can, we have ordinary lives, and we are surprised by the man or woman in the mirror-but a good deal of what we see is a fantasy. Most of us just don't look that deeply at ourselves.
It is often not until we reach midlife that we begin to take inventory of ourselves and come away looking for answers. The answers are within. It can be scary in there. Directed at women and men who are ready to take a look back at their lives, The Good Breast is a workbook about you. So get a mirror and some tissues and read on.
