by Kenny Rogers
First published 2012
Dr. Kenny Rogers sits across from another failing couple in his counseling office. His track record speaks for itself. Marriages on the brink of collapse walk through his door, and somehow he repairs what seemed irreparable. His clients never quite understand his "one way or another" approach, but it works. Rogers is intuitive, well-dressed, charming, and notably single despite his expertise in love. He sees patterns everywhere. Relationships built on surface attractions while ignoring warning signs. Partners who settle for substitutes to escape loneliness, knowing deep down their feelings aren't genuine. Rogers calls these "turkey bacon relationships" because they mimic the real thing without substance. As he guides couples through his unconventional therapy, Rogers forces them to confront uncomfortable truths about what they mistake for love and what authentic connection actually requires.
