Although this is one of the older books on divorce available on Amazon, it was by far the most useful and supportive of the 3 I purchased. Specific, personal, humane - as if the author is talking to you, explaining the terrain, empathizing, cheering you on. She explains the stages one goes through, encourages feeling the feelings, but also gives a loving push to to take steps, slowly, toward moving on and creating a new life for yourself. She has been through a divorce. It's a much better book than Fischer/Alberti's Rebuildling When Your Relationship ends, which I did not like. The only reason I'm not giving Life After Divorce 5 stars is that divorce is so difficult, it would have to be one amazing book to rate 5 stars.

this book made me excited about my future and made all the 'yucky' feelings i had inside disappear. i have ordered several of these books and i give them to friends who tell me they are starting the process of divorce. i cannot recommend this book highly enough, it's the best $12 i ever spent!!!

This book is very superficial and is really written from the childless divorce perspective. It has some decent information about understanding how your relationship might have arrived at a divorce, but is completely unrealistic when dealing with children. I found it not helpful at all.

I agree with the previous review. I once heard a phase that says "once you turn forty, you have to stop blaming your parents." This is an excellent book to make you look at the hard-wiring of who and why you are. The author really helps bring yourself to "The now" and a "It's is time to start living my own life" approach.

This is not just a book for people going through a divorce, it's also a good book for couples to read to help with their relationship. Chapter 10 is especially helpful for people who are still married.
