What if the pain and difficulties that arise in relationships are not something to run away from but, rather, are the keys to true intimacy and more personal freedom?
What if the situations that arise when the honeymoon is over, offer the secret doorway to freedom, joy, and bliss?
That secret doorway is what the authors of ‘Falling in Love Backwards, an Unlikely Tale of Happily Ever After’ discovered in their journey on the path of relationship together.
They’d been on parallel paths in many ways, both traveling the world, looking for answers to the deep questions in life and for a true partner. They were each committed to freedom and to living awake, and had gone as far as they could go on their own.
The rest of the healing would need to take place in the depths of an intimate relationship.

An exquisitely lovely gift
I have just completed reading "Falling in Love Backwards"
What an exquisitely lovely gift you have shared with authenticity and transparency, offering me inspiration and courage.
Your mutual stories help me see that we bring out our own woundedness in the other and can then choose whether to re-wound or to offer a healing space for wholeness.

An inspirational tale which goes way beyond an ordinary love story.

Great Story–read in one siting–couldn’t put it down
Thank you so much Diane and Landon for sharing your vulnerability and taking us on this very real journey with you, of healing while falling in love (backwards).
It is wonderful how well your styles blend and complement one another - great job of co-writing, and so much fun to have both masculine and feminine perspectives, which are so unique in their expression.
I started reading, laughed, cried and couldn't put it down until the end!

A 21st Century Love Story
This beautifully articulated book gives me hope! You describe what my soul wants, a "real" relationship that at the core is inspired by mutual flourishing and spiritual growth.
Thank you for your transparency, generosity and enlightening ideas!

Inspiring and deeply honest sharing of relationship
Theirs was a spiritual journey packed with emotion. I really felt the pain and joy both authors shared so honestly as they wrestled with their ego-mind's perception of the "love fantasy" versus reality.
Their conclusions and recommendations in the epilogue are worth their weight in gold.
Highly recommended.

When you think you should give up on love, then this book comes along!
I read this book in one sitting. I could not put it down. I had begun to seriously question my ability to choose wisely in a partner.
After reading this book, I have a glimmer of hope. It is amazing to read about the deep abiding love and the courage to face the deepest fears in herself and her partner.
Such determination, clarity, and vision, even in her darkest hours. Diane is a teacher by example and in fact is now teaching a course.
I am buying books for all the women I know who have these same questions. It gets you thinking in ways you never have!
