This book began with promise, but quickly deviated from its' initial promising path. In our discussion, someone pointed out this book was self-published. That was the 'aha' moment! This book most likely would have not gone to print, if not self-published. I have great respect for writers and would not want to discourage anyone, but this author would benefit from the review process of established editors/publishers. Upon learning this, I was sorry that I bought the book.
