Publisher's Summary

This book is not for everyone. Some will find it offensive and others will find it blasphemous to the “I'm special” self-image paradigm of the stuttering world they may currently inhabit. Tough Love is a painfully candid and personally revealing look into the life, loves, struggles, and successes of a lifelong stutterer. 

Shane Chapa pulls no punches as he shares his journey toward living with a frustrating and often debilitating speech impediment. The cure he offers here is no mere palliative or quick fix. It is strong medicine that will change the life of anyone with a stutter. Shane starts with a question that leads to the ultimate answers: What if it’s not the stutter? What if everyone deals with the same inner turmoil, but we blame the stutter because it gets us extra attention and sympathy? What if our stutter is actually our strength, a leg up on life, and we don’t realize it? It’s all about perspective and framing things in such a way that stuttering works for you and not against you. Listening to this book will change your perspective...and it just may change your life.
