THE DANCE OF CONNECTION

For anyone in any relationship, this is a thought-provoking and self-reflecting "must read." Although it's not easy to change our behaviors, Lerner's book provides explanations, examples, and case studies to help listeners overcome the difficulties inherent in communication between two people, especially those we care deeply about. Barbara Caruso's reading is as close to perfect as one can get; the timbre of her voice is soothing and rich. Listeners quickly feel that Lerner is talking to them, advising them, sharing herself with them. With refreshing resonance and color, Caruso is clear and succinct, humorous and caring as she moves through a discussion of various life situations. This is a book to listen to over and over, all through the ups and downs of our lives. W.L.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
