Spoiler Alert: This book is not for cheaters. Cheating in a Nutshell is for people who were cheated on in a romantic relationship.
In 20 years, Wayne & Tamara Mitchell, authors of the advice column Direct Answers, have received thousands and thousands of letters about cheating. The letters come from all over the world, different religious beliefs, different cultures, and different social norms. Rich, poor, young, old-are all represented in this book.
The reaction to being cheated on is universal, and in this book Wayne & Tamara give the longer answer they wanted to give each and every one who wrote. It doesn't matter if the cheating happened yesterday or thirty years ago, whether it happened once or multiple times. It doesn't matter if you were dating, living together, engaged or married. It doesn't even matter if you are the person they cheated with, if you were victimized by the cheater.
Wayne & Tamara looked for reasons behind your pain, and this is what they found. Cheating in a Nutshell is grounded in an analysis of a 3,000-letter sample of cheating letters the authors received in the first 10 years of their column. It is backed by what they consider the most relevant and revealing research evidence.
Direct Answers is the weekly relationship advice column by Wayne and Tamara Mitchell. The column was begun in April 1999 and within two years appeared in newspapers in more than a dozen countries.
Industry Reviews
From the prepublication reviews:
--"I started reading this book a week ago and I couldn’t put it down. Thank you, Wayne & Tamara. This book has helped me so much. I’ve a long way to go but I’m heading in the right direction now.”
--"Mesmerizing... Outstanding, focused, on target, loved it.”
--"The book is extremely well-written and has an approachable voice… it’s clear the book has been written by a man and a woman… It makes a very strong case for the victim of cheating being the party who should be supported...”
--"And I'll say, as I'm reading your book I'm becoming hopeful that in this life I might even fully recover from the train wreck!”
-- “My conclusion is that God put this book into my hands at this particular time.”
---- I read this book without a pause, because I wanted to follow the thread of reasoning and the evidence presented. It is a very honest, intelligent and refreshing read… In a way, one could judge a person's moral compass simply by their reaction to this book.
