    <body><![CDATA[I applaud Elizabeth for speaking in behalf of children who have experienced or will experience the divorce of their parents - especially those who have somewhat regular contact with both parents. This book gave me insights into my own children, and was a solid reminder of the importance of home and family stability for a child. She attempts to &quot;remove the sugar coating&quot; from cultural ideas about &quot;good divorces&quot; and combines empirical data with personal stories (her own and those she interviewed), weaving a tapestry of truth about the reality of divorce for children. Although she claims the book is for anyone, I believe those who are even slightly considering divorce, and who have children, would benefit most from this book. She seems most concerned with and disturbed by how casual divorce has become, and how adult-centered the choice is, most often leaving children confused, betrayed, and laden with too much responsibility too soon. ]]></body>
