Summary: DEAD-ON ADVICE, SCENARIOS AND TIPS, BUT THE LANGUAGE....
Review: ....can be irritating. She is funny most of the time and does make a lot of valid, humorous points (like on how to elevate yourself by overcoming your ex's stupid remarks/ attempts to hide the cashflow/ bad habits, how to help the kids through, etc.) that make the book invaulable, but the wording makes her sound like she wants to be another Iyanla. If you, like me, prefer a straight-forward approach, then read "Single Mamahood" by Kelli Willams and save "High Road" for the more serene, spiritual moments when you have time for all the lists, mantras, mediation exercises, candles, visualization, etc, etc, etc.

Summary: Laughter is the best medicine!
Review: I had been searching for the right book to boost my spirits, as well as inform. Most of these books are so technical and boring! No real reasoning as to why I should 'take the high road.' Then, I found just the book: Taking the High Road! This is, very simply, a good book. No holds bar, no bs, just straight-forward, honest help with dealing with an ex that just doesn't want to cooperate. The author doesn't even try to pretend that you want to ever like your ex, just learn to get along with him! That's what I like about the book! I found it very easy to get through, and I found it so entertaining that, for once, I wanted to actually be kind to my ex! I'll keep you posted as to the outcome of my makeover; but in the meantime, you'll do yourself a disservice if you don't buy this book!

Summary: Great child support collection tips!
Review: I really LOVE the child support collection section of this book the best. Shami is like Mother Theresa when it comes to her get-along philosophy, but when it comes to getting the money, she's like the best bill collector ever. I also got many ideas about making money and saving money until the dough starts rolling in from my ex again. Thank you!

Summary: An Adult Child Of Divorce
Review: I started reading this book to help myself understand the hardships that my mother went through after my parents were divorced. I am 32 years old and even though I do not have children, I have found this book to be very helpful in understanding what was going on when I was a child. I love the way she writes and think it is a great resource for anyone who has been touched by divorce.

Summary: The best Christmas present ever!
Review: My mom ordered this book for me over the holidays and I finally got it last week and read it almost non-stop for 3 days. What I love most about Taking the High Road is the author's outrageous sense of humor and hands-on guidance. I've been divorced for 3 years and my ex is the original jerk. He shows up late to pick my son up all the time. He pays child support late. He's made these past few years crazy for me. Taking the High Road has great ideas for regaining control of my life, so my jerky ex doesn't have his way, and I'm having fun trying them out. And so far, knock wood, they're working.
