Synopsis

Two decades ago, Boyd and Kathy Barrett found themselves in a bookstore desperately seeking information on how to deal with an issue that was tearing their marriage apart. They left the bookstore with a resource that started them on the road to healing, beginning with the acknowledgment that Boyd was passive-aggressive to a dysfunctional level. What they didn’t know at the time was that they would eventually be moved to write about that process in a book of their own. They left that bookstore with a tremendous resource but also with a warning to Kathy from the lady who helped her as she said “…there’s not much hope for him to change.”

Boyd uses the biblical tale of Jacob, who was a classic passive-aggressive man, as a mirror to tell his own story in a brutally honest and transparent manner. Kathy adds nuggets of wisdom from her experience as the wife of a deeply flawed man. This book is their attempt to provide hope that change is possible, despite what the lady in the bookstore said.
