Book Description
Survival!Yes survival!After thirty-four and a half years of physical, mental, verbal, sexual abuse, and yes-even incest, enough is enough! Thirty six year old Alyssa Montgomery is married and has one daughter. She knows there are things going on with herself that she cannot explain! Two years ago, Alyssa had gone to see Dr. Norma Price, a Psychologist who specialized in situations like Alyssa's. She didn't care much for Dr. Price, but she knows that she is the only one who has any knowledge of her family history and herself, so maybe she will give Alyssa one more chance to help her figure out what the hell is going on!Alyssa decided since she was already there, she would storm Dr. Price's office, going past the receptionist who tried to stop Alyssa from going back, and Alyssa slammed the doctor's office door open telling her that she would do whatever she said but that she needed help as of YESTERDAY! Dr. Price said; "Alyssa please take a seat in the lobby and I will be with you as soon as I can." Ten minutes later, Dr. Price opens her door and calls Alyssa back. As Alyssa is taking her seat Dr. Price is explaining to Alyssa; "I don't know if I can help you because you did not stick to our agreement for therapy before. How do I know you are serious now?" Alyssa pleaded; "I am so sorry for not coming back!" " I am sorry for not sticking to the commitment, but things are different now! I realize that I cannot fight this battle alone!" "I am scared to death I will do something I will forever regret and I don't want that to happen!" "Please Dr. Price, won't you help me?" "I can't take this abuse any more!" "I've had enough!"

Book Description
Script One Alisa wants to be very careful whom she introduces her children to. She made a plan with her sister Noelle to have her roommate Susanne flirt with her boyfriend, Benly, a little, just to see his reaction. Alisa feels like there is more to Benly because he acts so innocent and honest and thought this is too good to be true. Little did Alisa know that setting up Benly with Susanne would have Benly fall so obsessively in love, to the point where Benly himself made a little plan, and it worked so perfectly that everybody believes him and thought it was so typical. Later, when Noelle finds out the truth, she and Alisa not only kidnap both Benly and Susanne but they also torture them extremely, but it rebounds adversely. Script Two No one can predict the moment of death. The usual signs of approaching death are specific to the natural dying process, but not with Jason. Jason, all of a sudden, unknowingly is able to see the deceased. When a woman named Layla notices it, she uses his symptoms to her advantage. When Layla realizes that Jason is in danger and his life is about to end, she wants to warn him, but by that time, Jason is very afraid of her. He asks her to never come back again. Layla left without warning him, and of course, nature takes its course.

Pages : 205
Book Description
What does it mean to be masculine? These eleven men thought they knew, following in the footsteps of their fathers, marching to society’s drumbeat of manhood: A man is strong. A man doesn’t cry. A man is the provider. A man does it alone... in the course of their lives, each of these very different men found this same rigid idea of manhood standing between them and their happiness. Standing between them and being a fully realized man. Standing between them and their relationships. Standing between them and their heart’s path. Instead of building them up and making them stronger, they found themselves chained and isolated by these standards of masculinity. In these soulful interviews conducted by intuitive healer and author Alyssa Ditch, these eleven men candidly share their ascent into becoming real men: from heartache to healing, failure to triumph. Join her, as she dives into the hearts of these eleven brave men to understand how these fully-realized men had cast away society’s limitations on ‘masculinity’, rising to become better men for themselves, their families, and their communities. Learn the tools and techniques that worked for each of them on their journey to self-discovery. Be inspired by the example they set for all men, as it makes us think anew... ‘What is healthy masculinity?’
