But even in the forest, he can’t escape the unpleasant truth: He feels like a kid, not a man, he hasn’t found his ideal woman, and when he tries to daydream about her, his head fills with pornographic images he despises.

When a magical mentor appears at his shack, Jack begins to explore the causes of his problems. With his mentor's help, he solves the riddle that has kept him from truly understanding people of all kinds - and finds the love of his life and the healthy relationship he's always wanted.

You will discover how Jack:

  • Forgives his parents – and opens the hidden door to love
  • Turns despair into hope and confidence
  • Changes himself from a “kid” into a man

This is the novel that unlocks invisible behavior patterns you must understand to solve personal troubles and identify problem people.

“Saying No’s strength lies in its warmth and in its insistence that people’s limitations don’t cancel out their goodness.”

~ Ellen Hawley,
Author of Trip Sheets and Open Line

“It is a work of art -- well-written, rich in detail, emotionally charged, with characters that come to life on the page.”

~ Robert Bly

“David Yale has produced a finely woven tapestry, deceptive in its simplicity and profound in its message…. a lively, tender love story… [about] the human struggle to grow and change, to name our "demons" and discover our "angels," within and around us…. David Yale is a genius and this book is a work of art.”

"Saying No to Naked Women" is an absorbing, beautifully written novel about finding one's authentic self. Author, David R. Yale, creates a wonderfully drawn character in the protagonist, Jack Derritt. Jack is an everyman of sorts, struggling with his painful past… a touching tale of self-discovery, self-acceptance and ultimately self-fulfillment…. I loved Jack and his journey! Thanks David Yale for writing such a wonderfully insightful novel.”

“Yale portrays the deep psychological journey of his protagonist with skill and charm …. No topic is untouched, no stone is left unturned, penetrating to the very archetypes of dysfunction in modern society. In this illuminating novel, we see despair and depression give way to hope, but what makes Saying No to Naked Women special is that we see how this transformation can come about in our everyman, Jack and thereby in ourselves.”
