From My Side Of the Bed is a candid and engaging book, one in which Lisa Romanek recalls her dramatic life as the spouse of an extraterrestrial abductee, with an in-your-face honesty that gut-punches the reader. When Lisa met her now husband, Stan Romanek in a chat room on the Internet, she had no idea how unusual her life would become. Four months after their online friendship began Stan witnesses a UFO and his reality was forever changed as he began to question his own sanity. Lisa however didn"t look at the event as a sign of insanity; she has always been a believer in life from other worlds. Nine months passed and their friendship blossomed into love, a love that would soon be tested by otherworldly events of extraterrestrial abduction. Lisa takes us on her journey, from the moment of their initial meeting online, to the day they married two years later, and through eleven accounts of abduction, the intense hours of fear, bouts of her humorous outlooks, right up to the present day, twelve years later, when she at last makes peace with the past. "Lisa portrays herself, and those who share her journey, with unflinching honesty. That is no easy task for the memoirist. Her humorous description and generous use of dialogue kept the story moving. This moving, inspiring, and candid memoir is a simply told yet eloquent story of a woman whose mortal journey takes her through a series of life-shattering crises, each of which could break any one of us."
