What Sandra Lee Dennis tells us about the transformative power of suffering is so important and so true. She makes it clear that the price is high, but the reward of a heart broken open to a deeper love is worth the cost. I hope that many read this book; many surely are in need of it.

—Miranda Macpherson, author of Boundless Love, The Way of Grace

As she surrenders to the mysteries of grief and pain, Sandra Dennis works against our happiness-obsessed culture, the self-images that equate suffering with weakness and indulgence. She does not look away or sugarcoat the experience of abandonment and betrayal with easy tips on getting over it, or with spiritual bypass sleight of hand.  This book offers instead an invaluable chronicling of “the whole catastrophe” from breakdown to breakthrough. I was moved by many passages in this deep, engaging book. A much needed contribution to our collective healing…

This story of heartbreak has a rare quality: it is absolutely honest. The author initially lost her faith in love, in life, in God….Coming out of the desert of heartbreak, she regained her life, her God, and her vitality. And she takes us with her on a poignant voyage through those transforming depths. A wonderful accomplishment.
—Ginette Paris, PhD, author of Heartbreak, Wisdom of the Psyche

Love and the Mystery of Betrayal is a passionate book that delves with a rare honesty into the clashes of the mind, heart and body that occur when we open ourselves to deep surrendered love, and that love is betrayed.  Sandy Dennis probes the subject of betrayal in an almost kinesthetic way, like a dance that is also superbly intelligent. Out of her own suffering, she offers us a way to connect with, understand, and transform our own.

Sandra Dennis offers original insights into the energetic, sexual, psychic and neurological workings that make the experience of love betrayed so devastating. Written from the heart, this very personal tribute to the dark goddess encourages those who feel deeply (and wonder if there is something wrong with them) to stay true to their own feelings, which, in the author’s case, ultimately brings about a transformation and awakening into the heart of Love and equanimity.
