Questing France: Deepening the Search for My Holy Grail by Marilyn Barnicke Belleghem M.Ed.

by Marilyn Barnicke Belleghem
(Burlington, ON, Canada )

Questing France is a very personal account of how Marilyn applies her expertise as a marriage and family therapist to her roles as a wife, mother, sibling, friend, and business woman. She addresses the issues of what makes a functioning marriage, facing betrayal, rebuilding trust, evaluating friendships and her own family relationships. Through self exploration and inspiring travel experiences, Marilyn reveals how behind the roles she plays she struggles to find strength and support to be her authentic Self.

Recognizing the signs of an affair, determining why people return to or stay in a marriage after an affair, exploring ways to develop intimacy and trust, and helping children deal with parental conflict are tackled head-on.

Readers are allowed to experience Marilyn's thoughtful account of personal exploration and self discovery as she moves through the process of accepting responsibility to make the difficult choices that lead to living life with intent. The story builds up to a romantic and emotionally charged finale where Marilyn and her husband celebrate twenty-five years of marriage with a luxurious trip through France.

Like Marilyn's first book Questing Marilyn, this book is packed with inspiration. Questing France details fabulous travel adventures and gives readers a guide to look within and discover what is really important in life to bring about happiness and personal satisfaction.
