A Mile In My Shoes

While stalking the life of one woman, A Mile In My Shoes, gives a birds eye view account of childhood hurt, that carries over into adult relationships. The author causes the reader to consider the role molestation plays in promiscuity, and further questions the role parental neglect and abandonment plays in neediness and insecurity. A Mile In My Shoes, takes a look at how the things that happened to us as children shaped us into the adults we've become. Take growing up under the conditions of a "Traditional" household with mom and dad coexisting in a healthy relationship. This affords you a life example or training if you will. However, when you're without the benefit of training, you go into a relationship unqualified, trying to "Helen Keller" your way through it; leaving behind a trail of failed relationships due to unrealistic expectations; lack of training. Sadly, much like the characters in this book, a lot of women fall victim to their past and find that their unable to have a healthy relationship with a man because they're not looking for a mate, their looking for a daddy; someone to affirm them. This book depicts the unfortunate; the vicious cycle will continue from relationship to relationship until she stops looking for her daddy and seeks her father.
