"It's like the I Ching, you just open to anywhere and it gives you something provocative and insightful." -- Jim G. "It unwraps the packaging around the myth of manhood or boyhood, and offers a way for men and women to see and honor vulnerability on many levels." -- Dorothy R. "My overwhelming sense was that you had lifted the curtain on a boy's room, on a mysterious world that my life as a daughter, wife, lover, mother and friend only hinted at. So much of what I found out slowly during my marriage about our basic incompatibility is written here. Perhaps if I had understood the creature I was actually dealing with, we might have done better?" -- Susan T. "Wow. I have never seen anything like it. A very impactful and important collection of reflections. Very valuable for guys and gals. We will be buying a stack to give to friends. Daring to speak for guys, I say . . . THANK YOU!" -- FG. ". . . reminds me of my experience with violence when I was younger - fights at the bus stop, the rage of being assaulted for sport, the fear of being hunted by the bullies - it's awful, it's so brutal what boys go through." -- Mac R. "It is so good to hear men's stories from their own mouths and learn what it is like for them growing up and living in this culture. I had no idea of the depth of pain and challenge that so many men have had to navigate. Having always been a feminist and carrying anger about men for much of my life, I now feel so much empathy and appreciation for those who have worked so hard at changing their attitudes and their actions toward women, toward themselves, their children, their lives." -- Kate N. "It holds rare and valuable truths that are too often hidden, or buried deep deep down. "As for the piece you wrote about me in "BOY", I found it to be accurate, well told, and sensitive. My trust in you has been amply validated. I thank you for including my story. My wish is that it may bring hope to some of your readers." "Your amazing and beautiful book reinforces for me the profound importance of listening non-judgmentally." -- Peter B. |
