5By Dom Tom the bombI went through a nasty and violent break-up on Christmas Eve 2016. I left for a family vacation on the 26th and forgot to bring a book. I was feeling very defeated, depressed, embarrassed and otherwise hopeless. I happened across this book on iTunes and began to read. The words made so much sense to me, I almost immediately began to feel better. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Let Go and Let God.
