As a left eyed dominant wife, I feel extremely fortunate to be married thirty plus years to a right-eyed dominant husband who is spiritually strong, and together we share a strong relationship. “The Step-Father’s Step-Son A Story for Women” has brought to view a better understanding of our marriage.
10/13/09. Waldene said that women are thinking the things that I have written about, but have been afraid to talk about it. She said women will want to read more about me in the book. She suggested that I write another book or incorporate more of my life experiences in the current book.
9/2/09. Marilyn said, “You’re either gonna love it or you are gonna hate it.” She suggested that I change the name in order to make it more attractive to 15 to 17 year old women because of the importance of what is said in the book. She believes that this book will enable young women to start with a better perspective of their role in the family. She also suggested that I eliminate some of the scripture and include more personal experiences which I will try to do.
