    <![CDATA[Everything Claire Raphael has she's earned.On her own.  The hard way.  She built her part-time business up from nothing and made it successful through her imagination, creativity and hard work.  She has two great children and Dennis, a husband she loves completely.  Then, one evening, when Claire returns from a difficult business trip, Dennis hands her divorce papers along with a court order to vacate their house.  And he's taking custody of the children.  Claire is devestated.  She had no idea her marriage was on the brink of disaster, that Dennis had been planning this ambush for weeks, if not months or that her hectic but happy life was about to come crumbling down around her.  Claire doesn't know where to turn or whom to trust.  But in a few short weeks she learns what so many women have had to discover -- that when the going gets tough, a woman's as tough as she needs to be..]]>

    <![CDATA[Everything Claire Raphael has she's earned.On her own.  The hard way.  She built her part-time business up from nothing and made it successful through her imagination, creativity and hard work.  She has two great children and Dennis, a husband she loves completely.  Then, one evening, when Claire returns from a difficult business trip, Dennis hands her divorce papers along with a court order to vacate their house.  And he's taking custody of the children.  Claire is devestated.  She had no idea her marriage was on the brink of disaster, that Dennis had been planning this ambush for weeks, if not months or that her hectic but happy life was about to come crumbling down around her.  Claire doesn't know where to turn or whom to trust.  But in a few short weeks she learns what so many women have had to discover -- that when the going gets tough, a woman's as tough as she needs to be..]]>
