YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE BLAME GAME. If you're tired of being hurt by the hurting people in your life, Who's to Blame? will explain the dynamics of victimization, blame, and healing. You'll be given the tools you need to set appropriate boundaries for your relationships with these hurting people. Although no one is to blame in the victimization process, everyone is responsible.

Combining scentific research results and psychological insight, nationally certified body worker Carmen Renee Berry helps us understand the important, even life-saving, messages our bodies are trying to give us through physical symptoms and emotional distress. In clear and easy-to-understand language, she explains how touch-based therapies such as massage and body work can assist in accurately interpreting these messages, healing old wounds, and providing valuable guidance in future decisions about life, work, and relationships.

As important as friends are to women--essential, after all, to their identity as human beings--other roles in their lives get most of the ink: their lovers, spouses, children, and family. Girlfriends lovingly--and somewhat exhaustively--spotlights female comradeship. This book (which screams, "Buy me as a gift!") is simply a collection of women speaking about aspects of their female friendships to the indefatigable interviewer-slash-authors. Major topics of the book include girlhood adventures, friendships during transitions such as marriage and children, remembering friends, et cetera. In an odd little postscript, Girlfriends lists methods of female bonding such as theme parties, things with quilts and teacups, and other rituals. After all the words that precede it, such a section seems like gilding the lily. Relationships with lovers (male or female) thrum with a sexual undertone that works against the special distanced intimacy of friendship. As Girlfriends never tires of pointing out, only another woman knows what it is like to be a woman. A powerful antidote to alienation, friendships are a prime ingredient in a woman's life well-lived.
