I really, really liked this book. However, it was difficult at times to read. Sometimes, I had to set it aside, deal with the emotions it brought up, and then continue. The betrayal that Julie Metz deals with is so all-encompassing that I had to go one step at a time in handling the deep feelings it brought up within me. I just felt for her so intensely. She then tells about her recovery and as it says in the title, her renewal. About her re-entry, as a middle aged woman, into the dating scene and trusting the world of men again. Very inspirational. In the end, a triumph. What a good book!
