This Book will give you hope again!

I highly recommend this book for everyone that has or is dealing with Divorce. The advice in this book is right on. And it gives comfort that life can start again and be better.

A Must For This Part of Your Life's Transition

Outside of the scriptures I cannot recall a book that has impacted my life so much. Being recently divorced I cannot begin to tell you how important are the topics and advice. The book so enthralled me that I could not put it down until I finished it. I highlighted so many pages as areas for return to review again that I ran out of 3 x 5 cards that I was using as bookmarks. Thank you Jennifer James for writing this book.

This book will take your breath away-male in Texas

I have read this book twice, and will re-read it many times before my divorce is final. I found the book to be beautifully written and helpful in the following ways:Jennifer hit the "target" with great precision on every topic she addressed; her knowledge of the pain of divorce and the joy of "relationship" rings true.The author enhanced her opinions with scriptural references that were strongly correlated with the topics; she avoided gross generalizations of the Gospel.She wrote with a "voice" that is both truthful and powerful because of the beauty and integrity of her prose; she really knows how to write.Jennifer has shared a tremendous gift with her readers. The depth and breadth of wisdom in what she writes hints at the intense pain she must have suffered to acquire it. Thanks for sharing.

A much-needed resource!!

I've searched for years for a book that would put into words exactly how I felt about being a Mormon and having to go through the divorce process and heal. In our Church there are NO books or resources that don't sterilize or sugar-coat the experience. This book is wonderful, factual, full of great advice and examples of healing, developing new relationships, internet dating, children's issues, staying active and cultivating a positive attitude in a world of bitterness. Buy this book!! It literally described what I have gone through and has given me hope in a future relationship if I just work on myself! GREAT honest and factual information.
