Recommended for Everyone

Susan Anderson beautifully utilizes the power of the fable in conveying complex concepts about life, love, and loss in this easy to read story about the Black Swan. Because this book is a story and reads like one it avoids the blandness and instructional nature of other selfhelp books. By the same token the story is not abstract or meandering. The principals and recovery methods presented in the book are clearly and concisely described so that they may be easily put into practice. Furthermore, the storyline helps to make sequence of the twelve steps or lessons easy to remember. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Awesome

Yes, awesome is how I feel about this book. The subject matter is very sensitive for me and I whole heartedly would like to encourage anyone who has been dealing with or trying to understand the depth of abandonment issues to read this book. Many thanks to Susan Anderson for writing this!

This is not a surface read! Excellent allegory--must read.

Read this when you have time to ponder the depth and scope of its meaning. I've read this story several times now and each time I discover a new treasure of meaning. Abandoment issues are all about the condition of one's heart and this beautiful allegory spins a tale to recovery. Very powerful.

An encouraging support tool in Abandonment Recovery

This book clearly defines the lessons/stages that are critical in the abandonment recovery process. I read this book to identify where I was in the process and it validated that I was on the right track. Worth the read if you are suffering from any sort of lingering or fresh abandonment pain.
