Here are a few thoughts from readers:
“Many don’t know where to go for help given the tremendous change that divorce brings to our lives. This book offers needed guidance for adapting to that change.” -Dave Harrison
“The continued emphasis on the acceptance of divorced people as loved by God and not ‘damaged goods’ was something I needed to hear over and over.” -Becky Dority
“This book goes beyond others I’ve read. It helps not only with getting through divorce, but also with moving beyond divorce.” -Tim Russell
"This book has helped me see specifically where I was having problems that were preventing me from moving on with my life. I can truly say that my life, and who I am have been shaped by divorce, but it no longer defines me." -Laura Hill
