to find her and repair their relationship
Book Reviews
"Finally, someone has written a book that tells from the inside out how our deepest, most important relationships can wane and fade, and how the individuals we once cherished begin to disappear. In this open-hearted book, Michael Miller takes us with him on a journey from confusion to clarity. With searching honesty, he examines how we lose our way, and then (and this is the best part) he provides a map for finding the way back to our lost loves and lost selves.”

“This little gem of a book sets the perfect stage for fruitful discussions between spouses by providing a spot-on perspective (from a man!) about the realities of being a stay-at-home mom. It creatively exposes misconceptions about the role and the unrealistic expectations attached to it, shedding light on some women's struggles to maintain their identities and self-worth. As an anthropologist, I am enthralled by the book's in-depth examination of how our traditional roles can affect our modern-day love lives. As a stay-at-home mom, I am thrilled to find something women can hand to their husbands when they scoff at the piles of laundry.” “Honey,” they can say, “This book explains it all.” Michelle Lewis Bliesner, PhD

“Michael Miller takes us on a journey into his very personal evolution of change as he begins to appreciate the intricacies of what being a stay at home mother really means. His unique male perspective validates what women have been saying for decades about the job and how it affects them. It is difficult to transition from being a couple to a family and Miller captures the joys and challenges that can lead to veering off the path and finding it again. I enjoyed this book completely as a stay-at-home mother and as someone who clearly appreciates good prose and humor in a book. Do yourself a favor and read this contemporary view of the American family dream.” “The tone, lack of ego and pure honesty of this story is what moved me most. Mr. Miller's thoughtful narrative carefully invites his readers to consider his messages. Using effective and often humorous anecdotes, Miller shows the evolution of a man determined to understand his wife’s life and save his marriage. For men like me, Miller brings them to the table to start a discussion without making them feel like they’re being judged. He lets them live vicariously through him so they can examine their own situations in an unthreatening way. This book is overdue and will hopefully be the impetus to start a national dialogue that will save more relationships like theirs.”
