Separate Ways: Relationships, Divorce & Independence of Mind

Rating:
Summary: a different kind of divorce book
Review: it was interesting to read the life story of this woman, which was then combined with the story of her divorce. I found the way she moved forward in life despite all the obstacles pretty compelling. There was also much good advice and thoughtful plain talk about what to do and especially, how to pick yourself up after a divorce. I could especially relate to that! I would recommend the book to anyone who has a bad feeling about their marriage and is looking for a clear-headed guide who isn't afraid to let her own hair down for the sake of her readers.

Summary: candid, uplifting, useful
Review: Let's face it, the author of this book is not exactly a shrinking violet, but i was enthralled by her story of how she rose from a poor childhood and dyslexia and eventually became not only a wealthy lady but an inspiration to people seeking to end their marriages. As a man, i cheered on her tough-mindedness, the singularity of her pursuit for justice in life, and the way she spoke about the history of woman's rights. Also, the writing was often very graceful. i would recommend this book not only to divorcing couples but anyone who wants to look all the way inside an intriguing personality. Plus, she made me laugh.

Summary: brave and spirited
Review: This book is a pick-me-upper for women contemplating divorce, and was useful to me in my own situation. I don't share the other reviewer's negativity. There are a hundred different reasons that marriages end, and at least the author of this book was candid about why hers did. I found the book tender and moving.
