Summary: Thanks for Letting me know I am not alone
Review: At last, a book written by Christian women who have actually walked through the pain of unwanted divorce. I admire their courage in sharing their experiences so honestly. There was no "poor me" attitude, but rather an acceptance of what life had handed them and a resolve to forgive and move on, even to survive and thrive! If you are going through the throes of an unwanted divorce you will find kindred spirits here, whose experiences will echo with your own. They did with mine.

Summary: A book full of feelings and hope for the future.
Review: Having a marriage end is painful enough, but when the end is the result of one or many affairs, the pain runs much deeper. Kari and Noelle are truely an inspiration, having overcome the worst marital trauma ever, and blossoming into a new and fullfilling life. Finding myself in the same situation, the teachings in this book have help me to gain the courage, hope, and faith I need to start over after an unwanted divorce.

Summary: Incredible book
Review: I "accidentally" found this book while looking for another book. It talks very honestly about what women go through "When He Leaves". If you're in this sitution, I highly recommend you read this book. The first time I read it (I've read it more than once), I could have sworn the author interviewed me and that she had written my story. This is a GREAT book; so encouraging and uplifting. BUY IT!!

Summary: This book SAVED my SANITY!!!!
Review: I can't say enough about this book. I stumbled across it and it truely was a godsend. The authors, Kari and Nicole, seem like good friends. I was in what I thought was a good, solid marriage--my friends envied how devoted my husband was--and in the space of a week, my life blew up! My husband of 12 years blew the mind of all our family when he left me 5 weeks after my son was born. His affair was a bomb that no one who knew him ever thought he would throw. This book doesn't blame but it also reminds you that When He Leaves, God will uphold you and that the shame lies with the one who broke the covenant, not you. It is written with humor and grace by two women who have stared hell in the face and triumphed. Reading it is like a booster shot of confidence. If you can only get 1 book on divorce, this is THE ONE!!

Summary: Soothing to the battered soul
Review: I found this book at the public library...what a Godsend! I decided just a couple of chapters into it...I have to buy a copy of my own. Easy to read in small doses, I laughed, cried, and healed through every page. I will read it over and over, as long as I need to. I've recommended it to friends, even to a Marriage & Family Counselor friend of mine, for her clients who are suffering through a divorce. Down to earth and straight from God, these womens are a blessing.

Summary: A breath of fresh air
Review: I found When He Leaves at a very low time in my life; my husband of 22 years left me for a woman by the name of Delilah. I thought I'd married a Christian man, but found through the years that he was into Pornography and he ended up in an affair also. So, When He Leaves was a breath of fresh air to my soul. I've read it and read it again for the comfort and refreshing it brings my spirit. Sometimes when you are hurting and so wounded, it helps so much to know you aren't alone in those feelings. My copy of Kari and Noelle's book is now being read by a friend of mine; I miss it and I want it back so I can read it again. I will continue to pass the book around to others in need or suggest they get the book. After reading When He Leaves I was inspired to write my own love story as Kari and Noelle did in the beginning chapters of their book. I found it very helpful in the healing process. I recommend others do the same. Kari and Noelle thank you so much!

Summary: Thanks for Letting me know I am not alone
Review: I stumbled upon this book, and decided to give it a try, since I felt like no one could understand the pain and anger I was feeling when my ex left when our son was 3 months old. Thanks Kari and Noelle for sharing your feelings, even the negative ones, which helped me stop blaming myself. I could not make him stay, once he decided to be with his new girlfriend, and this book helped me to heal, and to be aware of the strong woman and single mom I have become. By bringing my feelings of anger and disappointment into the open, I have been able to also see how far I have come, and how much God does provide. He sure does work in mysterious ways! God has provided comfort and strength and given me the courage to go on and live a honorable life, despite this little "bump" on my journey. Thank you, Thank you, for writing this book, and letting me know I am not alone or a failure. I plan to read it again for those times I feel discouraged or alone.

Summary: Soothing to the battered soul
Review: Many people say life is about choices, but when Christians experience an unwanted
divorce, they must accept the consequences of another's choice. Writing under pen
names, two women who know the agony of such rejection write with candor and
compassion about starting over. "When He Leaves" is aptly subtitled "Choosing to Live,
Love, and Laugh Again." As the co-authors tell the heartbreaking details of their separate
journeys to divorce, they also share the little steps of hope as they saw God's compassion
in their circumstances. Sometimes people hesitate to give books to those who hurt; this is
one that should be given, with a heart-felt hug that says, "I care."

Summary: Even laughter!
Review: This gem of a book was given to me by a (very thoughtful!) friend, when I was still in the blackest "depths of despair"... and what a book, and blessing, it has turned out to be!!! "When He Leaves" has been healing balm for heart and soul, and is captivating and well written, to boot. Once I opened that first page, I simply couldn't put it down, and stayed up till the (very) wee hours of the morning reading it... laughing, crying and healing my way through. To this day, when I'm most feeling the mighty struggle of this uphill climb, "When He Leaves" serves to add new oomph to my step, and energy to my stride. I've even been surprised and overjoyed by my own hearty laughter over the stories within... I simply can't say enough! If you've been through the pain of losing a husband... READ THIS BOOK, and revel in the comfort and hope hid amongst its pages. AND, if you know someone who's also hurting, I can't think of a more appropriate, truly helpful gift. I am VERY pleased to post a glowing review, and remain one very loyal, very grateful customer!

Summary: A wonderful healing!
Review: Words cannot describe the healing I felt after reading this book. The many stories really hit home and it made you feel as if you were reading your own life story. This book was given to me by a dear friend and came at a time when I felt all alone and that everyone was looking down at me. However, after reading it, WE are not alone. Kari and Noelle really touched my heart and made me feel that my life will get better after all this heartache as well as many others who have gone through the terrible loss of a painful divorce.
