Back from Betrayal is a beautifully written and brutally honest account of marital infidelity and the long journey back to reconciliation. Suzy Farbman was living the American dream: great kids, a marriage that had lasted nearly three decades, a successful career, and a comfortable lifestyle. But when she discovered her husband was having an affair, her dream turned to nightmare, her secure world crumbled. 
She was not alone. Experts tell us that in this country at least one of every three couples is touched by infidelity. And middle-aged couples today admit to twice the rate of infidelity as the preceding generation. While infidelity usually results in either divorce or an empty relationship, Suzy was determined to fight back. First for her own life. Then, if possible, for her marriage and family. 
Suzy Farbman’s personal odyssey is one of the first published by a woman who confronted infidelity and went on to save her marriage. It was a long and difficult struggle, but in the process she learned much about what it takes to rebuild a relationship. 
Here, too, are the revelations and insights of her husband, Burton. In his own words, he presents the startling account of how a successful businessman took full measure of himself and then made profound changes to dismantle the layers of his deceptive life. 
Back from Betrayal will inspire couples who want to repair a broken marriage, and will also guide those in a healthy partnership to a deeper level of commitment and self-awareness. This courageous story adds a new perspective to our understanding of infidelity and, more important, reveals a process that can lead to healing and renewal.

Detroit's Cass Corridor and Beyond: Adventures of an Art Collector

Detroit's Cass Corridor & Beyond is part memoir and part art book by veteran journalist Suzy Farbman. For many years, she covered design for national and Detroit publications and ultimately created her own home as an homage to the best of familial antiques and contemporary art. In color photos and vivid anecdotes, Suzy tells the story of her support of Detroit's first avant-garde art movement, the first generation of Cass Corridor artists. 
Starting in the late 1960s, a scrappy band of creatives began working in the Cass Corridor area of Wayne State University in Detroit, many using assemblages of whatever materials could be found or scrounged. Jackie Feigenson, a sculptor turned gallerist, considered their work exciting, original and worthy of serious representation. Jackie gave up her art practice to open the Feigenson Gallery in midtown Detroit's iconic Fisher Building, one of the landmarks designed by Suzy's great uncle Albert Kahn. Farbman visited the Feigenson Gallery, viewed its opening show of Michael Luchs' rabbits, and was hooked. She purchased a rabbit of wood, rags, wire, and paint as her first foray into collecting contemporary art. This was Jackie Feigenson's first sale in her new gallery. 
The book includes photographs of Suzy's homes in Franklin, Michigan, and Sarasota, Florida, and informal snapshots of friends in and out of the art world. Featuring stylish images by renowned photographer Beth Singer, this book is written with wit, wisdom, and personal perspective. 
In welcoming readers to her book, Suzy writes: "By opening our doors and telling our story in these pages through vivid images and anecdotes, I am sending a personal love letter to each reader. As you turn these pages, I invite you to celebrate with me the love of family, the joys of collecting, the resilience of one of the world's great cities, and the brilliant diversity of Detroit's artists." 
She continues: "Over many years as a journalist covering design, I saw a wide range of living spaces. When I summoned all that I had learned from others, I was convinced that a beautiful home could be designed to include our shared family history, fond memories that continue to unfold in our lives, as well as bright artistic visions. If you agree that beloved objects make a place a home, you will enjoy the adventures that bring this books to life."

Suzy Farbman was a successful author who Oprah introduced to the world as an expert on the tough challenge of saving a marriage. But, behind the scenes, Suzy's world was falling apart after an ominous diagnosis from her doctors. For years, Suzy had traveled widely as a writer for magazines including Better Homes and Gardens. Back from Betrayal, the popular memoir by Suzy that Oprah recommended, told how Suzy and her husband repaired deep problems in their own marriage. Suddenly, readers nationwide were seeking Suzy's advice about relationships. Yet, at the height of this success, Suzy privately knew that her body was failing. Facing the same tough journey that looms for millions of Americans each year, this tough journalist suddenly found herself scared. This athlete suddenly found herself weak. This big-hearted wife, mother and grandmother worried that she didn't have much time left to enjoy the relationships that defined her life. Fear. Weakness. Facing death. These are life's deepest spiritual challenges, Suzy discovered. Searching for solutions, Suzy also found that America's wealth of medical expertise is equaled by our wealth of spiritual resources. Like millions of Americans, Suzy searched for the best doctors-but she also called on her colorful circle of friends and tried everything from psychotherapy to contemplating angels, from ancient prayers to a hope in miracles. Her warm, suspenseful and often funny journey of mixed disciplines is far from a dead end! Suzy realized that God reaches out to us through all of these resources-from doctors to spiritual teachers. As a veteran writer, Suzy quickly picked up her pen and now invites readers into her journey of survival and spiritual awakening. Best of all, none of the awakenings that Suzy describes in this moving story turned out to be miracles. Instead, she argues that anyone can look for the same kinds of GodSigns that broke through into her world on a daily basis. Anyone can find hope with Suzy as their guide through one of life's biggest challenges. If you enjoyed her earlier book about marriage-Back from Betrayal: Saving a Marriage, a Family, a Life-then, you're sure to love GodSigns. If you're meeting Suzy for the first time, you won't find a better storyteller to take your hand through America's diverse wealth of medical and spiritual treasures. Other books about recovery and spiritual transformation lead readers to more blind alleys than bright doorways. Suzy specializes in finding the light in the most unlikely of places. Other books about survival are grim. But, as you turn the pages of GodSigns, you'll find yourself smiling, occasionally even laughing. You'll meet surprising people in these pages. Think of the startling truth and eye-opening adventure of Eat, Pray, Love. With Suzy Farbman's new book, you're in the hands of another great American writer.
