very easy to read book and I found it interesting and helpful .

Not a book everyone needs or would want to read, but if you're in this unfortunate situation, it is packed with very helpful advice in a slim paperback volume. It gives "script" examples of what to say for all the awkward and difficult questions that come up when talking about divorce and how to help kids grieve. I am keeping it close at hand to refer to over an over in the year ahead as we struggle through this difficult path. This, along with Mom's House, Dad's House and must-have volumes for couples with children going through the divorce process.

A wonderful book for anyone closely connected to a child or youth coping with divorce. It clarifies what we do that hurts our children, and how to not do those things. Ideally, the parents will read and follow the book's recommendations. But other adults in their lives can read this book and get an idea of what the kids may be going through and what kind of support might be helpful to the family involved in a divorce.
