Instead of celebrating their decades-long love, they are toasting their divorce. This also marks the weekend that their son brings home his fiancée, Maggie Mackenzie, for the first time. Maggie thought she was joining a perfect family, but she is about to reckon with some uncomfortable truths about the man she wants to marry. <BR><BR> A multi-generational story about what it means to share a life with someone, <I>The Divorce Party</I> brings us two immensely appealing women: Gwyn who is stumbling upon the end of her marriage, and Maggie, her future-daughter-in-law, who is trying to navigate the beginning of hers. With emotional candor and surprising humor, these two women find themselves trying to answer the same questions: Can you ever really know someone? When should you fight for the person you love most, and when should you begin to let him go? 2000873 15 5 2008 The Divorce Party: A Novel total:295|5:36|4:114|3:99|2:37|1:9| 295 1016 587 84 5 2 false false Sun Nov 09 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Oct 27 11:51:29 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 10 15:42:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 18:11:49 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 18:12:05 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 20:50:59 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 20:51:11 -0800 2009
