LETTING GO INTO PERFECT LOVE By Gwen Plano
This memoir is one of heartbreak, discovery and inspiration. Gwen Plano takes us with her on a journey back to her childhood and the tragedies that struck the family on to her search for love and a family of her own. Little did she know the abuse that she’d suffer before she found redemption.
Redemption through unorthodox ways and sheer determination brought her through. I loved taking this journey with Gwen and related on so many different levels. From following her husband to Japan in search of truth and enlightenment to the dark depths of abuse that no human should have to tolerate, she had me captured. I cried with her when the abuse reached her children. I cheered for her when she found the strength to walk away.
This is a story that will give anyone on their journey through life something inspiring, something to believe in and something to carry with them. There are so many lines throughout the book that stayed with me. This is only one example of the depth and insight Gwen Plano shares through her own experiences. “Deep within each of us, there is a well of love ― a place of wholeness, a place of completeness. This sacred well is alive with wisdom and tenderness.”
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking truth, love and wholeness.

Gwen, your book was such an uplifting story. I realized as I read all the different spiritual avenues you’ve taken in life, that we’ve journeyed some of the same ones. 🙂 I have been practicing meditation since the 70s and am also a Reiki Master. (I read that part in the About The Author). It was a joy to read your story and especially for me at this particular time. But, isn’t that always how the Universe works? Just when we need a boost, it comes from somewhere. Amazing life. Amazing journey!! Hugs!
