I was overlooked most of my life. Quiet, nerdy, and someone people didn't notice. But he saw me. Adrian Kennedy was kind whereas others were indifferent. He laughed, not at me, but because of me. Because he believed I was the funniest person he knew. I was myself with him—stripped bare, exposed. Raw and open in a way I've never known since. I was his, and he was mine. But I was a secret. Perhaps an experiment. Pushed aside when things got too scary. Too real. His kindness turned into cruelty, not because of words he said, but because he was unaware of what his rejection felt like.

Dangerous possibilities arise. Black and White Thinking is an alarm call.

In this heart-opening book, Marcus and Sheila Gillette, through the wisdom channeled from the Archangelic Guides known as THEO, reveal the remarkable paradigm shift that illuminates a simpler path to relationship success.
