- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought this book was great Carmen Vann ty
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5She lost me when she started quoting Bill O'Reilly.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book has a lot of good information for those struggling with adult children who are acting in destructive ways. However, the author's viewpoint is very black and white. She has little capacity for shades of gray. I also thought she could have toned down the religious bias.
