Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Hope After Betrayal
Meg Wilson · 2018
79/100
👍 Worth It
Meg Wilson writes from inside the exact devastation her readers are living through, and that first-person authenticity combined with Scripture-grounded practical steps gives this book a warmth that generic counseling manuals can't replicate. The 2018 revised edition's added chapter by her husband and new appendix on children in the home fill real gaps that competing titles leave open. Christian women navigating a spouse's sexual addiction will find this a genuinely useful companion — secular readers will find less to connect with.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: mature subject matter — spousal sexual addiction and pornography; adult audiences only. We still scored it 79; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
