A Courageous Tale with Valuable, Practical Advice
Revisado: 02-17-25
Despite the humorous title, this book is the most powerful, honest and hopeful book I’ve read written by a co-dependent survivor of domestic abuse. Melissa Peters spells out the warning signs from A to Z of the ways abusers use manipulation and control to destroy the self-esteem of their victims. She witnessed it in her family and found herself in two relationships that led her to marrying addict abusers.
Therapy and supportive friends helped her escape these marriages so she could begin to repair the psychological damage she’d endured. Throughout her years of trauma, she journaled her feelings, so that in this book she not only describes what it felt like to be abused but she provides a detailed checklist for readers to use to understand if they may be willingly or unwittingly co-dependents of addicts and abusers.
She shares her own journey how, despite her sincerest efforts to “fix” her abuser husbands and make herself lovable to them, ultimately she realizes she is the problem. To fix herself, she had to leave those toxic marriages, so with therapy she could learn to value and love herself for who she was. Her commitment to her recovery led her to a loving partner who shared her values, and with whom she could build a life and raise children. With this book, she tosses a lifeline to others who, like her, find themselves in co-dependent relationships with addict abusers. Bravo Melissa!

This cozy mystery has it all: a spooky Victorian house full of long lost secrets, a resident ghost who is acts badly when a new family moves in, an adorable papillon dog named Pixie who can talk to humans but only certain ones, a hidden gemstone with magical powers and a nosey landlord. Filled with twists and turns, Sarah, a single mom and her children, with the help of new friends Lily and Matthew (a possible love interest) must find the powerful gem hidden somewhere on the property before the members of a secret society can get their hands on it for malevolent purposes. They also must solve the mystery of who killed their ghost and why, so she can finally move on leaving them in peace. Even though I'm a cat person, I have fallen in love with Pixie, the papillon, who really is the "star" of this story. Now I can hardly wait to read more adventures of Pixie in the next books in Frisch's latest series. Be sure to listen all the way to the end of the audiobook for the special treat Frisch included. It will put a smile on your face!

The year was 1917. As a war raged across the world, young American women flocked to work, painting watches, clocks, and military dials with a special luminous substance made from radium. It was a fun job, lucrative and glamorous - the girls themselves shone brightly in the dark, covered head to toe in the dust from the paint. They were the radium girls. As the years passed, the women began to suffer from mysterious and crippling illnesses.
