Dr. Jane Newell hos a Ph.D. in Family Social Science. She created a 4-dimensionol model of intimate relationship development for young adult college students wherein she reconceptuolized Erik Erikson's psychosocial model. She hos taught at three universities in the U.S., and is a co-author with her colleagues of a textbook, Intimate Relationships: Where have we been? Where are we going? https: ljwww.directtextbook.com/isbn/9781524983598

But that is not what this book is about. This book is personal, intimate, transformational. In Love and other expressions of the Self, Jane opens a very personal, long-closed, long-hidden door - the door behind which the story of early childhood incest was kept - CLOSED. That is, until she felt the call of Divine Love to work with her, to go into the dark, painful, closed places - and by bringing them to the Light, she experienced healing, transformation, and liberation.

Jane's poems are expressions of her journey to God, Love & the Self. The lifelong impact of early trauma now loosening its grip, she gives Voice to the possibility of New Life and Love. While Dr. Jane's story is a personal story, she feels it no longer belongs to her, it belongs to humanity. May it be a blessing.
