Wood (medicine, Univ. of Arizona) taps personal experience, traditional psychiatric medicine, psychology, and spiritual principles to help women view betrayal as liberation and move forward. The author's guidelines center on 14 key lessons, including rejecting victimhood and examining all involvements. Wood intersperses questions for reflection with case studies and specific tips. Burned wives and girlfriends will find compassionate help here; revenge seekers, look elsewhere.

You’re a woman who knows what it feels like to be betrayed, to have your life shattered, to see your dreams go up in smoke. You are alone, abandoned, at risk, hopeless, and overwhelmed. You don’t know who you are anymore, what’s real, or whom you can trust. While you surely can’t see the gift in your betrayal, it is there! What feels like a curse is really a blessing in disguise.
