Excerpt of the Week: From Kramer vs. Kramer by Avery Corman

For Joanna and Ted Kramer, building a life in New York City is tough but full of joy thanks to their lovely little boy, Billy. Or so it seems, until one day Joanna walks out, unable to manage the burdens of family life and her own unfulfilled ambitions. Alone with Billy, Ted begins to navigate the challenges of single parenthood and forms a bond with his son that no one can break—except the courts.

"The father in Ted Kramer is the idealized version of the father I never knew," says Avery Corman, author of Kramer vs. Kramer. Adapted as the landmark film starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, Kramer vs. Kramer is an unforgettable and heartrending story of love and devotion in the wake of divorce. We're proud to feature an excerpt from this powerful classic, below:
