Back from Betrayal: Saving a Marriage, a Family, a Life

I found Suzy Farbman's book to be beautifully written as well as helpful. I felt as if I could relate somewhat, being a survivor of an unfaithful father who was hardly ever around. I found her thoughts and feelings very true to home. This book has helped me to better understand my own insecurities and issues about infidelity. This is a MUST READ for anyone. It does not only help to understand why infidelity occurs, but it also teaches about self love and self respect. I see Burt & Suzy's love for each other continuing to grow for years to come.

This book is an amazing diary of a married woman's struggle to survive infidelity and reclaim herself. It also gives a guide for saving the marriage.It is well written and reads easily. Suzy presents her journey in a straight forward non-judgmental way that most people can identify with. It also provides a bibliography filled with different places to go for help if this experience happens to you.SHe is intensely honest and transparent with her experience and provides hope for others.In addition, her husband writes an afterword that provides his point of view for the reasons behind his behavior and how he is coping with the changes that he needed to make to save the marriage.

First off, I would like to say that this book was wonderful. Suzy is an incredibly talented writer, and I hope that her story will aid others who find themselves in similar situations. I think it is amazing that someone would share such a personal aspect of their life with the world. I appreciate Suzy sharing her struggle to help others. Secondly, I would like to say that the negative feedback below seems to have nothing to do with this incredible book, but rather, seems based upon personal bias. I don't appreciate reviews which instead of reviewing the material, they review the person who wrote it. Negativity is a chain reaction, and grows exponentially when given the soapbox to do so. Finishing on a positive note, this is a fantastic, honest, introspective look into healing & love.

Farbman thought she'd go, too. But take a 30 year marriage, complete with kids and then consider that your husband has been cheating - and not once, but repeatedly, including one long-term affair, lasting years. Think you'd walk right out the door (or boot him out?) Read this book and you might reconsider your position, as Farbman reveals, in heartbreaking detail, what she went through and how she came out the other side. She doesn't hold anything back, from the first inklings of suspicion to the wrenching certainty that her husband had cheated on her. It is a soul-searing account of a hellish time, but one that is impossible to put down.

I have never really written one of these before but I was so inspired after finishing this book that I knew I had to write about it. The honesty in the wiriting of this book is incredible! I did not set this book down and knocked it out in less then 3 hours, wow! If you want hope in a difficult situation, if you are searching to find inner starength this book takes you there. I will be intently watching OPRAH in search of their srory there.
