Summary: The Anti-Rules
Review: As a therapist, I cannot think of a better mentor, coach, or mother figure to help you out during a messy divorce. When you need it most, Barbara teaches you how to brilliantly navigate through the treachery and the surpising and horrific twists and turns that can do you in emotionally, financially and with the children. It's filled with information and strategies you need right now. While I don't agree with everything in the Anti-Rules, this book is incredibly helpful when mediation and counseling have failed. Don't hesitate: buy this book and read it cover to cover as soon as you can. You'll get your money's worth many times over.

Summary: Cleverness and Creativity in 275 pages
Review: Barbara Donahue takes the heartbreaking journey of going through a divorce and adds thousands of clever and creative tips to survive. Not only does she cover every aspect of survival, she provides women with empowering information on how to navigate the legal system, be aware of pitfalls and traps, community, state and federal resources, and a compendium of websites to have all this information at the end of their fingertips. For a woman who needs concise information in a flash, this will give her knowledge that she needs, and a lot that she probably didn't know she needed, but will be glad she has. Like the saying goes, knowledge is power, and Barbara has given women going through a divorce a pathway to empowerment, with humor thrown in to be able to laugh along the way.

Summary: More than one way to skin a c(R)at
Review: For those who are feeling overwhelmed by the red tape involved in the "system," this is a wealth of advice and information about how to deal with it. Fantastic? yes. In more ways than one--often more daring than the average player, but always readable and thought-provoking. Certain to make the divorcee feel more empowered, if only vicariously through the author's amusing anecdotes.
