Review:

David Kirkpatrick has written this book from his heart. He is a rare psychiatrist who is a humanist, interested in the importance to us all of the social world of relationships. This is a memoir full of love and admiration and thankfulness for the lessons he has learned from his female relatives, teachers and partners. --Carolyn Crowder,PHD, Author of Eating, Sleeping and Getting Up, How to Stop the Daily Battles with Your Child
