One of the hardest parts of divorce is feeling alone, because you're losing a spouse, perhaps relatives you've loved, friends, etc. But this book helps you see that after the pain and the storm, there is a light that comes out again and gives you hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Inspiring, December 1, 2008

By 

Michael (Lake Forest, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cup of Comfort for Divorced Women: Inspiring Stories of Strength, Hope, and Independence (Paperback)

Each story is truly inspiring as billed on the cover. Better than Chicken Soup for the Soul, these concise stories help women connect with one another - you are not alone. Page 158, Playing with Fire, strikes a chord as well as page 221 sparks a flame of a different kind. Buy the book and you'll see what I write is true.
