"LOVE OR GROWTH; WHY NOT BOTH?
A WOMAN'S DILEMMA"
by Barbara Brewster
Barbara Brewster's personal story of striving to live her burgeoning spiritual and personal truth within the context of an established relationship is the ‘raw account of a modern western woman’s journey.’ With uncompromising honesty Barbara articulates the struggle of women who seek to “follow the song of their soul.” Masterfully interweaving her personal story with pertinent quotes, LOVE OR GROWTH; WHY NOT BOTH? is an inspiring blend of the personal and universal. Candid and naked - like an intense sharing with a trusted and very wise friend - LOVE OR GROWTH; WHY NOT BOTH? affirms and encourages women on their journeys.
Forward by Ian Haycroft, Kinesiologist
Not every woman who reads Barbara Brewster’s journey in relationship will make the same choices that Barbara has, but most women who read this will have at some point in their relationships “lived the questions” that Barbara poses. In my clinical experience with my female clients, it is the fear, guilt and confusion stirred by the very existence of these questions that is shocking, not the questions themselves. The question “why do I feel trapped in this relationship?” should not itself create guilt, and yet so often women are so torn asunder by self accusation and doubt connected to this feeling that they can barely move to the next question--”do I free myself within the bounds of the relationship or beyond it?” The decades of progress in women’s rights still pale next to the eons of subconscious programming that links the value of a woman to a man. Barbara’s journaling, with its uncompromising honesty, is a tale of a woman wrestling with the centuries, pushing at the walls of the chrysalis. Man or woman, if you want to feel comfortable, do not read this book!. Read more ...
