When Hope Can Kill

Reclaiming Your Soul in a Romantic Relationship

WHEN HOPE CAN KILL is for all who falter in treasuring their sense of Self, their Essence, in romantic relationships.   This book helps people learn about "soul mugging," an insidious pattern that can be devastating to the human spirit.   Culture instills the importance of having hope about the desires we dream of but in a relationship where self-esteem is undermined, hope is a paradox.   What you think is giving you a sense of assurance is actually entrapping you.   Hope then prevents you from acting on what is happening to you.

The author lays bare her own struggle to reclaim her soul from a man she loved deeply.   "I felt it was important to let the reader know that I had experienced what was happening to them, that I understand their pain."   This book is a comprehensive guide on how to reclaim your Soul, your Essence, so that no one can ever violate that Place in you again.

What People Are Saying

" This book, simply put, is an amazing read - not only is it a page-turner of a story but a powerful manual for healing.   If you have ever loved and then had your heart shattered when you least expected it, this is your book no matter where you are.   When Hope Can Kill is mandatory reading.   You cannot read this book and come away unchanged.
