The Look of Love

by Jill Egizii

Overview

A story of divorce and its aftermath. “Touching . . . the knowledge readers can gain from this novel is profound . . . heart-warming and compelling.”—Chick Lit Plus

Anna, the wife of a prominent local attorney, has decided enough is enough. After nearly twenty years of marriage, she realizes she must get free from her controlling spouse. In the process, she loses the only thing that made escaping worthwhile: her children. Despite their joint custody agreement, her ex uses his wiles, wealth, and legal experience to exile Anna from the family. Her once “normal” relationships with her son and daughter mysteriously sour. The system, the law, and her faith in herself all seem to fail her at the same time. While facing the fight of her life, Anna realizes the true meaning of friendship and love.

“The emotions conveyed are quite real.  The confusion, the anger, the hope, the grief, the helplessness . . . they all shine through and allow the reader a window through which to experience the reality of parental alienation (although, for many, the reality is longer and less hopeful) . . . I think it has potential to find its way into unsuspecting hands and provide a pool-side education about a very serious issue.”—Relative Evolutions

What People are Saying About This

Sarvy Emo

"The Look of Love clearly demonstrates how quickly and easily parental alienation can occur and the harm these behaviors do to children and the rejected parent. Ms. Egizii does a fantastic job of walking us through the effects of alienation, including the aha light bulb moment when a parent realizes that the child's pain is paramount to their own. A riveting read."--(Sarvy Emo, founder, Parental Alienation Awareness Day, April 25th, Founder, Parental Alienation Awareness Organization (PAAO))

Carole Lieberman

"The Look of Love may be a novel, but it tells the truth about our flawed custody courts, where fathers with money or influence can rip children from their mother's bosom."--(Carole Lieberman, MD, psychiatrist/expert witness, author of Bad Boys)

Claire R. Reeves

"Jill Egizii explodes the theory that parental alienation is a malady attributed to women only . . . Egizii's page turner, The Look of Love, skyrockets the reader into a world of how a devoted mother can be ostracized by a court system. It is a system uneducated to the silent cries of her children."--(Claire R. Reeves, MA, CCDC, author of Childhood - It Should Not Hurt, president/founder, Mothers Against Sexual Abuse)
