Grace Giadono has written an autobiography about herself to teach what she wished she had learned.
Grace is a woman who is smart, attractive, and perfect in almost every way. But from birth, nearly all of the family, friends, and lovers who surround her have serious mental disorders. This leads her to become interested in psychology so she can figure out what makes people tick.
In spite of earning an advanced degree in psychology and starting her own private practice, Grace is drawn to toxic relationships with dangerously disturbed men. Although they subject Grace and her children to many years of severe mental, emotional, and physical abuse, she marries two of them and lets another live in her ranch basement floor.
The Men in My Life is the story of a woman who learned to deal with life the hard way. From having a loving husband and starting a family to dealing with the same person's Bipolar personality can be a difficult challenge to cope with. In this story, Grace deals with the physical abuse from her husband, Ned.
In the meantime, she also faces trouble handling her child Tripp, who was sent in the military only to become rogue. A series of unfortunate events leads to Grace being involved in an accident that not only causes her a physical injury but, consequently, takes her son away from her. The matter immediately gets dragged to the court where havoc ensues.
While enduring and seeking remedies for her trials of the heart, Grace finds answers and comfort in religious, spiritual, and therapeutic disciplines. Gnostic concepts which Carl Jung, the great psychologist, wanted to introduce as a part of everyday life through his psychology are included as part of the heroine's everyday life.
The story is as unconventional as Grace herself. Will she ever recognize what's really the common denominator in all the crises of her life?
