Stay or Go: Dr. Ruth's Rules for Real Relationships af Ruth Westheimer
I won a KINDLE version in a GOODREADS giveaway sponsored by Amazon Publishing.
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
a great read for those struggling with comfort and sexuality -- geared towards hetero-normative cis gendered females
Overall, the autobiography of "Dr. Ruth" Westheimer never really rises to any particular heights.
Readers who are interested in the lives of German Jewish children sent out of the country during the Second World War will get a superficial look at how the children were cared for, but won't really get an overview of the programs, or how it affected the children and shaped their subsequent lives.
Readers who want the inside story about the diminutive sex educator and media darling of the 80s won't get much more than an "and then I did this radio program and got famous." There's not much about how external events shaped the sexual mores of Americans and made them receptive to this particular celebrity at that particular time.
If you're looking for anything deeper, you won't find it here. What you'll find is a mildly interesting story about a young woman who persevered through setbacks and disappointments, but there's not much heart in it.… (mere)
