In 2005 I made the most difficult decision of my life in deciding to end my marriage.
The result is a non-fiction book written from the heart. "The Great Escape; A Girl's Guide to Leaving a Marriage" covers various divorce topics. Social changes to expect, co-parenting, budgeting and tips for hiring a lawyer are all included.

Each anecdote begins with a lie and ends with a truth. It's been really fun to add memories of life events and experiences. You don't realize how funny and odd your own life is until you sit down to make fun of it.

Lisa Thomson I spent the afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Hemingway and the Bulls in Spain, not to mention all their famous gang with many antics. Yes, I'm reading The Paris Wife and thoroughly enjoying it :)
