This review is from: The Divorce Sourcebook (Paperback)
One of the things I particularly like about Dawn Bradley Berry's work is her equal attention to pragmatic legal detail and human emotion and behavior. This book is fantastic because not only does it provide logistical and strategic procedural guidance to the divorce process, it provides the reader with encouragement and a source of solace.
Divorce, even in the best of circumstances, is difficult and unsettling. It is refreshing to see an author provide resources for the wide range of issues that are likely to arise, whether in the court hearing or in the psyche. Berry writes in a clear, compassionate manner, and her readers will come away much enlightened and educated at a time in life when everyone could use a comforting word. Highly recommended.
