On the Up and Up: A Survival Guide for Women Living with Men on the Down Low

I could stop reading this book until I got to the end. It kept my attention the whole time. I think that this book will help women that go thru the same similar situations. It shows how one woman was strong enough to deal with the circumstances that she faced during trying times. It also shows that she is a woman of faith and forgiveness. Forgiveness alone is hard to do. She truly demonstrates her faith in God. That was the biggest key that got her thru this enough to move on with her life. I would recommend this book.

Motivating and well presented

After reading Brenda's ex-husbands book I had to hear her story. It was great to read about Brenda's problems and not only focusing on her husbands betrayal.

This book was written very well. It gives anyone in this situation an example to look at. This book does not push the reader to join sides with Brenda nor does it bash her husband. Well done and very informative.

Boring!!!

I thought the book was going to be more indepth as far as what to look out for, but it ended up being a book on her background. Boring!!!!

From a psychologist

This book is the other version of Forbidden Love with a Married Man by Dennis Schleicher, which it is a 'must read' for all. His memoir is groundbreaking along with cutting edge, a first of its kind.

Dennis fell victim just like Brenda Stone Browder. Schleicher's book will help women realize why their husbands cheat, and how it's out of their control.

Misses the point entirely.
Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 
Although this woman should be admired for how she was able to get back on track after the many things she endured she misses the point entirely. For starters, men who live "on the DL" do not want tobe discovered--in the unlikely event that a surefire or foolproof test to determine wether or not a man is on the DL were ever devised, those men in this lifestyle would find a way to dodge or evade it. Her suggestions that homosexuality and bisexuality can be cured are ludicrous at best. After having read this book my only question is "Did she write this to get back at her ex-husband?".
