This book is so versatile that it can help more than just teenagers whose parents are going through a divorce. Its advice and explanation of the process of divorce and healing would also be beneficial for children of all ages, the people who are actually getting the divorce, and both children and parents that are not married, but are ending their long relationship. I was in an 8 year relationship with the father of my oldest child and even though were were not technically married, the situation and feelings of a married couple were the same as ours. We lived together until our son was 4 years old, at which time I ended the relationship.I wish I had access to this book at that time of upheaval. Although we remained best friends, it was very difficult for us and our son to adjust to the changes. This book explains the process of divorce and its stages of healing in a very matter-of-fact manner. The author's insight is amazing. She wastes no time on filler or fluff and gets straight to the point. This book is easy enough for children to read themselves to gain insight and hope. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone struggling through the break-up of a family.
