Summary

Have you ever seen a root-bound plant--one that has ceased to thrive because it's roots have been confined within the same container for too long--same pot, same dirt, no growth? Forgotten and neglected on a shelf, it stops growing and starts dying.You can't always choose whom you will have a relationship with--some relationships are dictated by marriage, employment, necessity, birth. But you can affect the quality of your relationship with others by choosing to love or not to love.In these pages, authors Jill Briscoe and her daughter Judy Golz, share glimpses of their most intimate feelings through a lively dialogue about friendship, love, and commitment. It is in the relationships God has given us that we find space to breathe, and room to grow.
