Based on years of research, professional experience, and personal observations, I agree with one of my readers who said, “We all live with shits. Heck, I live with one constantly — being one myself.” The book is especially helpful for people who have lived with persons who have addictions and narcissistic personalities. Jane is pleased to share the results of her research with an audience raring to go. There is a pressing need to take a serious look at this pervasive human condition.
