Exploring a most important connection
Uninformed skeptics may attempt to marginalize the effects that dolphins have on humans, but therapeutic human-dolphin interactions cannot be dismissed lightly. Dr. Olivia De Bergerac applies a keen, trained eye of compassionate observation, uses biofeedback tools combined with psychometric methods, and takes an approach that is respectful of both humans and dolphins. After scientifically identifying the effect of this species on human brainwaves and thereby illuminating the dynamics underlying dolphins' impact on the human mind and psychology, she scrupulously carries out long-term followup on her human subjects, an element missing in most conventional animal-assisted therapy programs. Her interaction studies are conducted in the wild, another unique aspect of her work. The result is an important and highly signficant piece of the puzzle that explains the science underlying dolphin-assisted therapy, as well as much-needed advocacy on behalf of the dolphins and the ocean. All of these elements combine to make "Dolphin Within" one of the most important books yet to emerge on this much-debated subject. --Ryan DeMares, author of "Dolphins, Myths & Transformation" ...

Page Turner about an Enlightening Personal Journey,
Marie Etienne's Storkbites about her childhood growing up in a loving, yet verbally and physically abusive family in Lafayette, LA draws you in like the savory smells of down home southern cooking. With Money, a big house, luxury cars, Mardi Gras balls, a sweet father, a mother who cooks and cares for her NINE children, this Catholic family suddenly turns from perfect to unbelievably chaotic and cruel. Etienne's parents are alcoholics with deep-rooted problems, shocking behavior, and no clue how to raise children. Each of Marie's eight siblings are interesting characters with distinct personalities you grow to care about. Some of them don't come out of this nice-and-brutal lifestyle as well as Marie did. Her openness and honesty about herself is courageous and admirable.
Don't let this one pass you by
Storkbites: A Memoir, is the story of a rich girl growing up in the South. The big family may look picture perfect on their public outings, but all is not well in the big house. With honesty, and not much fluff, Etienne brings out the truth with her intelligent and easy to read style. It makes you wonder how many more stories she has up her sleeve?

Compelling and Eye-opening
This book propels the reader through the roller coaster ride that was Marie Etienne's life growing up in south Louisiana.A ride loaded with alcoholism, physical abuse, drug abuse, murder, suicide, neglect, wealth, love and hate - all the issues that can make any book enthralling.But these issues were all a part of Marie Etienne's family life.The reader will find it unbelievable that this is a true story.I applaud Marie for the courage it took to write her story and especially for surviving her story. ...

A must read even if your parent was not an alcoholic!
This book was amazing.It hit the target for me in many ways.Not only is this a book for people who were raised by an alcoholic parent, it is also beneficial for anyone who has had to deal with a domineering, violent, narcissistic person.Once I began it, I could not put it down.Truly well-written and authentic. ...
