Description: In this revolutionary book -- the first major self-help book for African-American women to help heal the emotional legacy of slavery and institutional racism -- Brenda Lane Richardson and Dr. Brenda Wade take a riveting look at the historical experience of African-American women and the disturbing impact it has had on their ability to attract and maintain relationships in the present. Relationship patterns learned during slavery have resulted in "anti-intimacy" beliefs that prevent closeness and love. But in this book, there is hope. Richardson and Wade identify seven anti-intimacy patterns and offer seven life-enhancing beliefs that will help women heal their emotional wounds, grow spiritually, and achieve abundant love.
