Revelations from inside the White Picket Fence is the second book in Inside the White Picket Fence series. Book 2 contains stories from the life of Lauri Florentine Howell, but also begins to explore topics and issues that are currently having an effect or an impact on society as a whole.

In all author Serena Lynn Estes’s life decisions, she had chosen to be unsettled to avoid her grief. She moved continuously, bought many homes, had four marriages, and could not seem to settle into herself. She got bored and chose continuous movement to keep herself from stopping, listening, and just being. Then, after Estes turned fifty, she chose to stop the madness. After moving to California, she received her Holy Yoga certification, learned to meditate, and conducted burning sessions to release the anxiety. The last of these entails writing down your feelings and the specific struggles you are currently experiencing and safely lighting the paper on fire in a safe place to watch it burn. A burning session can allow you to let go of the unwanted feelings and struggles and release them into God’s control. When Estes prepares for her burning sessions, it gives her peace and the feeling of surrendering her heartache and challenges into the hands of God. She still struggles, as we all do, but it is what we do with the anxiety within us that counts. Now she seeks to share the story of how she found peace and understanding and stopped searching for the “white picket fence” after making many wrong choices in relationships, friendships, and family issues. Set in Texas and California, this inspirational personal narrative tells the story of a woman who has endured many types of trauma and wants to share her tools for healing with others.

Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.
