(November 13, 2006) "I recently bought your 3 CD's: "Codependence; The Dance of Wounded Souls". I literally CANNOT THANK YOU enough, for the immense service you have done for me. Like you, I am an addict in recovery, with an addiction to almost everything addictive, although I have been clean for almost 10 years. However, I have only recently realized that I am addicted to abusive relationships, and that is what is currently driving my new approach (out of desperation) to recovery. Your CD's, are now downloaded on to my iPod, for me to listen to daily.
I am planning on writing an online review of these CDs'. ANYONE who is open & willing, will heal and grow, because of your work. I am convinced of this. God bless you, Robert."
"Thank you. Your words have helped me in a new found spiritual joy and freedom."
"I have been reading your web articles off and on for a few months now. They have really helped me pull together the insight I needed to more forward in my recovery. . . So thank you for putting your stuff on the web or else many of us would be in roaming mode for years and years never really able to get it. Your articles really bring it all together in a way that creates the ah ha moments. . . I like to think along your lines of it being a societal disease. Again, more reasons I love your articles, they are softer, and more healing based."
"My friend _______ turned me onto your book. I was so moved by the accuracy of your perspective and the frank way in which you communicate your knowlege. I sent the book to my sister in June... she passed away August 7th as a result of her addiction to barbituates for over 30 years... heart attack. She gained so much from your book and after working on her sobriety seriously for 1 year I was so delighted that she got to read it. She was really in a good place when she passed and I think God was waiting for her to "get it" and when she did He lifted her from the worldly troubles which engulfed her.
Upon rescuing the book from her home after her passing, I gave it to my mother (25 years in Al-Anon) and she has chewed it up! Highlights abound on each page! She said you didn't miss a concept! I ordered the 3 books so that she can turn others onto you and so will I Thank you for so eloquently putting all in the perspective of a worldview... we need it. I just wanted to let you know quickly that your book resonated so deeply with us and to thank you for sharing yourself and your insights with the world. Bless you and thanks again!"
"I thank God for you. from the day I came across your book, my life has been transformed. The wounds of my past has been healed and I am truly living in the moment and having fun. I am free at last. Thank you."
"I have just come across your website Joy2MeU and I am so thrilled. I am in the process of healing my inner child and have just finished reading "Healing your aloneness - finding love and wholeness through your inner child" by Erika Chopich and Margaret Paul. The book was good but I felt I was left with so many questions about how to go about the whole process. My main question was really "how to love myself, how to grow an inner loving parent??" And now I found your website and have just read your articles about Internal Boundaries. What a relief!! :-)
You approached is both pratical, simple and yet I can feel that its coming from a spritual place. Its like some deep part of me, knows that this comes from a good place! I shall carry on reading your website with much joy and excitement. And I shall try and figure out how to buy your book when I dont have a creditcard. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom!"
"I just want to say, how brilliant the info is on your website."
"I've been reading your book and listening to your tapes, and to be honest, they've literally been a life saver for me. Everything you say resonate with me, is addressing exactly what I'm facing and working on right now. I really appreciate your very clear writing style as well. Your teaching is being both inspirational, uplifting, and comforting - almost like a security blanket in times of turmoil and deep pain. Thank you for the work that you've done, and continue to do. I can't tell you how immensely it's been a guiding light to me already."
"I recently visited your website for the first time and it had almost brought tears to my eyes. It was like God led me to you."
"I am sitting here reading your pages, feeling as though I have found a lifeline of sorts. I appreciate your wisdom and perhaps even more importantly your willingness to share it; you are very articulate in the delicate matters of the psyche. Your words penetrate to the levels of my deepest wounds and I am grateful for the spirit of hopefulness and possibility for recovery which they impart. I have found traditional psychotherapy and the more common literature on codependency to be lacking somewhat."
"Hello Mr. Burney, Im taking time out of my busy life to tell you your book is excellent!"
"Dear Robert, I have just read below this piece of your work. Thankyou! this has just given me a hugely positive quantam shift in uderstanding myself God Bless you (dude) Robert
"I very seriously pursued learning about past lives and different planes of existence and all of the esoteric, metaphysical knowledge I could access. And that pursuit was important in helping me to enlarge my intellectual paradigm - but a few years later I realized that the whole purpose of the pursuit had been to bring about a shift in my relationship with myself, my concept of God/Goddess, and with life. The details that I had accessed about past lives and other dimensions of existence were not really important in terms of how I live my life today - but the shift in my paradigm, and therefore my relationships, was vital. At that point in time, I threw away all the notes I had taken about different past lives and such.
The whole purpose of my quest was to discover a belief system that could allow me to start believing that I am in fact Lovable and worthy. Figuring out how it all works isn't what is important - what is important is discovering the faith to believe that there is a Loving Force in control. That is what helped me start Loving myself more - to start relaxing and enjoying life a little bit more instead of always giving fear and shame all of the power.
So, anything in terms of details, that I share here are my interpretations. The interpretations that helped me to discover a belief system that served Love - that was functional in helping me to overcome the dysfunctional beliefs I was programmed with in childhood. That they may be different from someone else's interpretations does not mean that one is right and one is wrong. There are a plethora of ways to look at and interpret information which is beyond human understanding. Any explaining or defining of God is limiting - and the Goddess is unlimited.
The purpose of sharing this at all, is the hope it may help you to enlarge your intellectual paradigm - help you to build yourself a larger Spiritual container so that you can open up to accessing more Love in your life." (This is a quote from The True Nature of Love - Twin Souls, Souls Mates, and Kindred Spirits - which is now part of the Dancing in Light pay to view section of my site.)
"I so value your work and the help you provide to so many."
"Just a quick word to say how pleased I am to have discovered you web site. There is so much information which I want to absorb. I have only this year discovered ACOA. I never knew they existed. . . I would like to get all the info written on your site and put it in one big book which I could hug to myself and feed off of."
"I find the message in your words and on your website inspirational and hope one day to attend one of your 'intensives' all the way from New Zealand. Until then keep up your great work."
"I have never written to an author, to a TV host, or anyone of whom I have never met or will likely never meet. I canít help but not write to you and let you know how much your book has meant to me. . . you have helped explain so many things that I feel such a rush of joy and excitement. I could not put your book down and found myself underlining every single page to bring my eye quickly back to an area that meant a lot to me. If you did gouge my eye out in a previous life, you have made up the Karmic debt in spades! Thank you for writing this bookÖ.nothing is coincidental (like you say), and I am so glad I saw your quote to motivate me to buy your book, and thank you for your personal touch with your note."
"I appreciate all the work you have done and continue to do and I pass on your name and website and your services as much as I can."
"I wanted to say thank you , for giving me hope again. I've been struggling with codependence my entire life. I am 37, and an adult child of an alcoholic. I just had yet another break up, with someone I love very much. I can see now that I set myself up for this, yet again. I am committed to looking at this, and changing my patterns. Your website is helping so much. I don't feel so trapped and isolated anymore. I'll be referring to this site often"
"First, Bless & Thank you for making articles Joy2MeU website available! It is my belief that I have been lead to your site for help."
"I had a feeling he was ready to hear your words (he lives in MA and we talk almost everyday except when I do not respond to drunken phone calls) and he was thankful and told me he would read it. Well! I have to tell you that not only did he read your book cover to cover for a week while on a business trip..he called me sobbing saying that he finally gets it. He went on line today to find where AA meetings are in his area and says he will attend his first meeting tomorrow on his lunch break. That's a start! So, thank you for being you and having the courage to share your story and helping others in doing so. Your words resonated and touched off something in ____ that enabled him to face his truth. From my mouth to G-ds ears...thank you!"
From the person the above messages was referring to: "Thank you for opening your soul and sharing your emotional connection with "our" higher spirit;....in "The Dance of Wounded Souls" you write on page 10 .."I am sharing my Truth with you. I am sharing my heart and Soul. I ask you, if you can, to be aware of the emotional messages coming from your heart and your Soul as you read this".
This sentence resonated through my Soul as I read and re-read your writings,..extremely powerful emotions poured into my heart as I turned the pages,...and the emotional feelings finally, finally connected!!.....I cant thank you enough for your courage to share "your feelings"....I feel honored that I have had the opportunity to read and greive,..which has allowed me to spiritually heal, open wounds that I have carried as toxic shame for 50 years!! Please add me to your your e-mail list....I thank you again for your Truth,...I'm on a new Life discovery of wonderment and Joy, through the awareness of appreciatition of living in the moment and grace of the miracles of today......Thanks to two Loving Spirits...you and _____"
"I am reading your book and it is great! It really speaks to me on so many levels -- It's the kind of book that you don't want to rush through. Thanks very much for writing this book!"
"I would like to be put on your mailing list so I can receive any updates you may have on your wonderful page. I came across this page nearly three days ago and I cannot tell you enough how much this is saving my life! I mean it. I would love to eleborate on what I mean, but I believe you know exactly what I mean. Thank you for a terrific website. And I pray you receive adequate funding so you can publish more books and get this message out to many, many more people. God bless you"
"Like you, I became aware of my other disease, that of rampant codependency, more or less when I was nine or ten years into my recovery from alcoholism, also. I related closely to your story, bought and read your book two or three years ago, learned much about my own codepedency and how to heal from it. The sharing of your experience, strength and hope has helped me immensely. I am now living in Mexico, retired, sober, happy, joyous and free. Thank you very much, Robert."
"What a blessing to have come across your web site. I can't wait to read your book. . . I began my search on the internet for false self image, removing the mask, etc. when I came across your web site. It is in your words that I have found the answer to my questions for my self. Your writngs caused an unbelievable spiritual awakening with in myself. My false self images I was representing began in the child hood wounds. Everything is suddenly very clear and I have a true direction in which to work. I am very excited to have found you and very excited to present topic tomorrow night where I wll be quoting many of your words and referencing your writings, book and web site. . . Thank you for all that you do, and you will be seeing my name again. God has blessed you, there is no doubt."
"Recently I have purchased your book Dance of Wounded Souls. And I have printed out so many of your articles to place in a binder for my reference. I have been working through recovery for 15 years--working through family dysfunction and addiction. I have several books and have been through some counselors. I have made steady progress and have journaled the whole journey. When I came across your definitions of codependency and about inner child healing you opened it up for me like no one else. Especially about emotional honesty. That opened my eyes and a flood of healing has come to me. I thank you for all of your hard work and the legacy it leaves for people like me. I have never worked so hard for my recovery as I have in the last 5 months. You had the key I was looking for.
Another counselor who has helped me also incredibly is Iyanla Vanzant. Have you heard of her? She and two other wonderful counselors run a 'Starting Over House' in L.A. They have a TV show on in the mid morning channel 6. I have also been working through her book called "In the Meantime". It also comes with a workbook, "Living in the Meantime" She has similar views to yours, but you have a way (that works best for me) of bringing it all to light. Thank you so much."
"I wanted to let you know that stumbling upon your website last year began what has really totally transformed my life."
"As someone who grew up in a far from perfect home, your article and website helped alot. I know I have a long way to go, but it already feels like a weight has been lifted just knowing that I'm not alone, or paranoid. Being around so many people who had it alot worse off than me made me wonder if I wasn't just being sensitve. . . Thank you so much for having the website up. It has helped me see and learn so much about myself and the type of parent I want to be."
"Reading your website, is such a powerful catalyst in my continuing recovery, every word pulls a resounding "yes" "yes" from deep within, . . I won't take more of your time now except to say thank you for creating such a helpful, clear, nuturing, spirit driven book"
"I really do appreciate all the information you have made available. You have helped me more than you will ever know. I'm happier and finding more joy in life, less stress. I am getting closer to my daughter and husband, and I am seeing who I really am. I've even lost weight now. I had no idea that all the junk you collect growing up could affect you so much as an adult. I really feel like God led me to your website, it was a huge blessing in my life. Many blessings to you in return sir."
"Thanks for sending your book: "The dance of wounded souls" Thanks for writing it!!!"
"I had just checked in and read your August update. Readers and appreciators of your work who have some recollection of past accounts of your history with cars are going to derive a lot of pleasure from the image of you and your family riding in air-conditioned comfort and from your account of the Ford Focus. Your description of an "Intensive Training Session" appeared as if in response to questions I had been asking of my Higher Power after my own recent Adventure in Relationships. At the risk of this sounding like my August update, I have been experiencing a profound sense of inertia that I told myself was just a reaction to the extreme heat and to the increased work load with my new job. However, I haven't been able to muster the enthusiasm to do much more than go to work everyday. I caught myself Friday feeling that I didn't want to get close to anyone (at work, I said).
Today, I became aware that I had suspended myself, so to speak, between two mutually irreconcilable, equally untenable extremes: a) spending the last quarter of my life alone (and, if that's all there is, I don't want to be conscious); and (b), being drawn into (because I don't make good choices) another relationship (because it will end badly, and I will be back at (a), at which point, if that's all there is, I don't want to be conscious). I felt like a beetle which had gotten on its back, struggling to right itself, but fearing, once it gets on its feet, it will only get squashed. With that many types of codependent thinking in operation, no wonder the best option felt like remaining unconscious. Robert, I kept thinking my first task was to get myself out of this emotional place. And, since the one thing I did not think I could do was to take action, I keyed "taking action" into the search engine on your site. In your article, "Obsession/Obsessive Thinking, Part 2," I found the following passage:
"It was very valuable for me in recovery to realize that I cannot force myself out of an emotional place - I can't force my process. I learned that I needed to accept where ever I was emotionally - no matter how uncomfortable. Once I accept where I am at, then I can take some action that will be helpful in moving me to a different emotional place.
One of the things I have control over, that I have the power to change, is what I am doing in the moment. I have the power to force myself to take an action. Not because I "should" - because it is the kind thing to do for me.
Allowing myself to be in my head wallowing in the agony of the trauma drama that is obsession is not a kind thing to do for myself. Getting up and getting in motion is a good thing.
I take the deep breaths to get into the moment. I look around and see that the sink is full of dirty dishes. So I do the dishes. Then as I am drying my hands I look around and notice what a beautiful day it is outside. So, I go out and take a walk."
This passage is the equivalent for me of the Universe's gift to you of a "new" Focus. Although "wallowing in the agony of the trauma drama" still comprises a portion of what I have written here, and the act of writing might still be at some remove from actually "getting up and getting in motion," I had to express my gratitude for this astonishing passage. If my Higher Power had assumed corporeal form, sat down in front of me, and spoken these words to me, they could not have more directly addressed my immediate situation. Thank you. Now to get up and get in motion!
With Wishes that Joy, Love, Peace ~and Playfulness~ Abound for You and Your Family,"
"I was so grateful that you addressed the inner child who does not want to live (Union Within - healing the inner child) on your site. It was good to know that someone else understands this and acknowledges this honestly. Yesterday I managed to talk to my inner child about the pain and why she does not want to live and I made some progress towards healing. May your work continue to bless and help people around the globe. Thanks that you share what you have experienced and learnt."
"I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the articles on your site. I have searched for months on the topic of Inner Child Therapy, more to keep myself focused on my recovery, but also to hear various ways to approach it. I've found a lot of insight and hope throughout your site, and I've shared it with many. I'm very grateful that the information is out there, and I've got a feeling you've helped more people than you know because of it."
"I am writing to you cause I am so excited and want to share with you. I am reading on your website and little by little I learn new things and you are giving me new tools, which I am SO greatfull for. It feels like your story, your experience and knowledge is the missing link I have been looking for. So once again thank you so much for sharing."
"Thank you so much for your web site and all of the voluminous, vitally helpful and healing information. Without being able to access your site daily, I'd be at a painful loss at this time in my life. I did Inner Child work several years ago and my therapist has since left this small town, leaving me without the kind of therapy that I know works well for me and the kind of therapy that both my Inner Child and I like and believe in.
I am doing MORE grief work now and working daily on MORE of my unresolved issues, due to your WONDERFUL web site information. I have learned and utilized some new information from you. I appreciate your emotional honesty, your writing, your generous spirit, your insights, your creativity and your journey. I wish only abundant blessings and love and serenity and joy and lots of laughter in your life. May your Higher Power surround you with love, serenity, warm hugs and total acceptance."
"Thank you for the updates of your information. I am so appreciative of your work and how it has assisted me in my recovery."
"I had received your book, Wow everything in the book is me. What co-dependent can do to me. How powerful it can be, I see it everyday. In my own way I realize what I was doing for me today, healing my inner child is wonderful. And how I can take care of the little children who weíre controlling my life. Robert Since I started reading your work on the enter-net. What it did for me, I was so full of fear. Because I thought I had committed sin, with the wrong I did. Today I thought about my past, what a wonderful experience I had to live to be here at the present moment. Thank you again Robert there is hope."
"I am waiting to receive your first book which I have bought through Amazon and I am trying to plough my way through the super-abundant material on line, its all a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. There are so many points I can relate to. I never realized my Mums drink problem and other family problems had such a devastating effect on me. I have been printing out some if your articles but would absolutely love to be able to buy a book with it all in. Please bring out another book soon. Last year when I was doing some research on line I came across the acoa world service. I was very disappointed with it. It said very little to me. It just made me feel really guilty, where as your site speaks volumes and had been an enormous help. The world service really should have a major place on their front page for your site, it is leagues better that theirs."
"Just to let you know I got your book today. I've been reading it and it is truly amazing. It gives me peace. I love reading it. Thank you so much."
"I am delighted with it. I have been on my journey of recovery for many years...but there are things in your book that no one else I have read has articulated so beautifully. I am just now discovering that it truly is "inner children", and amazed at how a 15 year old girl inside me has had so much control! What you said is true, I was living part of my life through her eyes and while her thinking got me through some very hard years, they are not in agreement with my adult self. Also, I have healed so much but it never fully goes away. I am in therapy for over 15 years, and am always surprised when something, kicks up...and I bring something into my consciousness and need to grieve. And grieve I do. Your book puts it all in perspective. Also, I love your concept of the Divine. Your talent is a gift. I will be sharing your work with others. It has helped me feel better about myself just in reminding me that it is a process and I have come so far. Something to celebrate!"
"I am writing from Australia and just letting you know that your message is being received down under. I have had the privilege of receiving your CD version of Codependence : The Dance of the Wounded Soul, from a very good and insightful couple of friends. . . . Eight years on and meeting many spiritual and healthy people, I was introduced to your work. WOW. It cut through me like a knife, and finally I found another person who had the courage to tell me the truth and without the bullshit. . . . I wanted to thank you from my spirit and heart, for your courage, honesty and cutting through the illusionary bullshit around us. Co-dependence has caused so much dis-ease in my life that I finally wanted to unveil it and see for what it really was. . . Thank you again for allowing my wounded soul to dance again and lifting the darkness off Co-dependence. With Great Respect and Kind Regards."
"How are you, myself Iím doing good, thank you so much for your book. Wow what a wonderful learning experience, I have lived to be here at the presented moment. I started reading your book and what it taught me, I feel reading your book gave me a good understanding for myself. I feel no more being stack in the past. Why you explain everything with the truth, and right to point. . . . Thank you my friend for sharing your knowledge, and what its doing for me is beautiful. Keep up with the great work your doing. . . . What I acknowledge since Iím on my healing journey, you gave me hope. By what you shared in your book. I hope my friends with find their answers to."
"I live in South Africa and came upon your website in my search for information on healing the inner child. Thanks for your very informative website. . . Your website has helped me immensely in my own work on healing my inner child (children) and in working with my therapist in working through the traumas."
"I have been so troubled these past few days. I met someone that I knew would be a gift or a lesson., triggering something in me that I couldn't explain. Becoming needy, obsessive and clinging is so opposite of who I thought I was. I have felt so grounded and truly ME that, well, I still shake my head with puzzlement. What happened in a few short minutes to bring me to this unpleasant state of affairs? I sometimes forget that Spirit wants us to be happy, joyous and free. It shocks me that I can give up my power so easily when I have fought so hard to take it back after so much sadness and confusion.
Finding this site is easing me. I have found words here to stop the cycle of self loathing and questioning, always questioning. IT WAS MAKING ME CRAZY!!! I am a very loving and accepting person and it has been very difficult to accept the fact that I am not past this point of foolishness. I now know that that this man is both a lesson and a gift. Mostly a gift and I also know that I still have so much work to do...damn it!!. Anyhow thanks for helping me get somewhat centered again. It is such a relie"
"I received and read your book and it helped me to love myself through a really rough patch Thankyou"
"Thanks...your web site is very inspirational...my brother sent it to me"
"I received your book yesterday and have read 1/2 of it already. Wow! I am getting so much out of it. I wish I could even memorize it. I am fully aware of my co-dependence, and have been working the 12 steps since this past February. I am 51 years old and realize this will not come easy or happen overnight. . . I also want to thank you so much for signing my book. I was so impressed by that. I didn't even think you would know I was buying your book!"
"Your site is an incredible. Thanks so much for giving such a gift to us. I have to say that I really don't know where to begin in order to get the most from the site, but I will just dive in."
"I stumbled across your web page by putting in emotional healing in the google search engine. It has been a revelation to me. I felt like crying when I read the quote Robert wrote about being born at a heart chakra level of conciousness and then had to shut down our hearts. He said that is why it hurt so much because we were expecting something kinder and gentler and about feeling as though we had been born on a whole different planet. (this refers to the article Jesus & Christ Consciousness) I have felt this all my life."
"I went to google.com and typed "Broken heart". I found your texts translated in Finnish. (links to those articles can be found on the Romantic Relationships index page) I read them once. Started from beginning and read them again. I spend the whole night reading. Reflecting my life, I found a bit of comfort in them. It made sense. The whole thing. . . The bottomline is, your writings made me feel better and there seems to be correlation."
"I wish to thank you for having made your pages of Applying Twelve Step Spiritual Principles available to readers. Though I have read only several different pages, I know I will go to your words every day."
"Finding your web site came at the perfect time on my journey. A coworker loaned me the book, "Perfect Daughters. Adult daughters of alcoholics" and saved my life. I mean that! From there, I began searching for more help. That's when I found your site. I sent a link to the friend with the book and we have both been printing and reading all of your information. I want to express to you what an incredible gift your willingness to share your journey means to me!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What a wonderful website you have! I am learning so much in reading, but still am having difficulty putting the stuff into action. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences."
"you deserve a huge thank you!!! Your web site is highly informative and very stimulating to read!!!"
"I wanted to write to you and tell you that I feel really grateful to have found your book/CD it was great. I really identified with everything you had to say. I am about 9 months in CODA recovery and I have turned on the tap of self awareness and its flowing so fast, it is great, but I sometimes wish I could turn it off!!"
"I just need to tell you how important your site has been to me and how much your writings have helped me. I haven't looked at your site in a long time (probably a year). Tonight I really needed a word from God. I am really down...Your words were a source of comfort, power, and understanding all wrapped up in one. Thank you for your words of hope and light and encouragement. Thank you. I really felt desperate tonight qnd decided to look on your site in my favorites...and wow...there it was...A New Year ~ 2006....It said it all! I wish I could send you a thousand dollars because you have meant so much to me"
"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ! I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM READING WHAT YOU HAVE WROTE. I AM STARTING TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE FIRST TIME HOW MY BRAIN THINKS AND WHY. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FITNESS HEALTH. BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME MY MENTAL HEALTH IS GROWING. I AM FOLLOWING A NEW PATH TO HEAL FROM THE PAST WOUNDS AND KNOW IT WILL ALWAYS BE A ON GOING HEALING AND GROWING PROCESS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE"
"BY THE WAY I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THANKS TO YOU I FINALLY KNOW WHAT TO SPECIALIZE IN AFTER I GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE, HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF THEREAPIST I WANTED TO BE UNTIL I READ YOUR TITLE.-CODEPENDENCE THERAPIST. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HOPE TO BE CALLED SOMEDAY IN MY FUTURE. AS WELL AS A SPRITUAL AND SELF ESTEEM TEACHER. I REALLY ADMIRE YOUR WORK."
"DEAR ROBERT I JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED YOUR BOOK, WHICH I HAD ACTUALLY PURCHASED FOR MY WIFE, WHO IS AN ALCOHOLIC. MY WIFE IS NOT A READER, BUT WHEN SHE STARTED READING YOUR BOOK, SHE COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. SHE READ THE WHOLE BOOK WITHIN ONE DAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE BOOK CAPTIVATED HER. I HAVE NOT READ IT YET, BUT I WILL. I JUST FELT TO LET YOU KNOW THIS AND TO SAY "THANK YOU"."
