Publisher Description
Belva Plain captured readers' hearts with her first novel, Evergreen, which Delacorte published more than 30 years ago. It topped the New York Times best-seller list for 41 weeks and aired as an NBC-TV miniseries. In total, more than 20 of her books have been New York Times best sellers.
Before becoming a novelist, Belva Plain wrote short stories for many major magazines, but taking care of a husband and three children did not give her the time to concentrate on the novel she had always wanted to write. When she looked back and said she didn't have the time, she felt as though she had been making excuses. In retrospect, she said, "I didn't make the time." But, she reminded us, during the era that she was raising her family, women were supposed to concentrate only on their children. Today 30 million copies of her books are in print.
A Barnard College graduate who majored in history, Belva Plain enjoyed a wonderful marriage of more than 40 years to Irving Plain, an ophthalmologist. Widowed for more than 25 years, Ms. Plain continued to reside in New Jersey, where she and her husband had raised their family and which was still home to her nearby children and grandchildren until her death in October 2010.
Customer Reviews
Like attending a John Bradshaw seminar
I was thrilled about finding this on the iTMS. I have been a fan of John Bradshaw for quite some time, and have read this book in print form as well as "Healing the Shame that Binds You". Last year, I had the privilege of attending one of John's inner child workshops in Houston, Texas. The lectures, materials, visualizations and meditations were identical to the material presented here, and having this book on my iPod is an invaluable way to review and revisit these healing processes.
If you are in a twelve step program with some time under your belt and want to progress in your recovery, I would heartily recommend this audiobook.
WOW!!
Really powerful stuff. I am very impressed. I let go of 40 years of baggage in a few hours. I did not even know I was repressing all that pain. I want to listen to this audiobook over and over again. Thanks Mr. Bradshaw, you saved me hundreds of dollars and years in therapy. I feel much more confident in raising my one year old daughter better now. Thanks again.
This is a necessary Life Tool!
Best when Listened to Multiple Times and Paired with Therapy
It’s a wonderful tool but only if you really use it properly!
Remember this, therapy is about makings commitment to changing your lifestyle.
It’s the type of book that you must listen to multiple times.
I see one of the other reviews was only one star because this is not a word for word of the written text of the author.
I was unaware of the difference, that being said, this is an absolutely wonderful tool.
To maximize the benefit you receive, listen to this when you have no outside distractions.
I am listening to this today for my third or fourth time and I experienced a new understanding of myself and my upbringing.
