| Unlike any other book I know about, this volume offers the nourishment required to sustain us both physically and spiritually. 'Love and Lemon Pie' is an extension of its author, because, like her, it is an authentic expression of love. |

Children in shame-based homes are not held accountable for their behavior. They’re just yelled at, insulted, and sometimes hit. They’re not required to clean up their mess nor make amends for harm done, but they’re never let off the hook, either. Their self-esteem is destroyed, little by little. Children in respectful homes are not demeaned for mistakes and destructive behavior; they are required to clean up the situation, with no further discussion. Then, they’re off the hook. Self-esteem is still intact.
Where families expect perfection from each other, failure is certain. When anyone fails to live up to the standard, he is shamed. Shame is about who we are; guilt is about what we’ve done. Shame is usually life-long, worn like a suit of clothes. Guilt is assuaged when we make amends.
