Summary: A people driven Q&A on annulments...
Review: Over the years, I have sometimes disagreed with the author when it comes to canon law. But not over anything she has written or edited in this book. Of the numerous annulment question and answer books out there, Sister Victoria's is my favorite.

This book is readable, informative, interesting and completely faithful to Church teaching. What makes this book unique is that Sister answers real questions asked by real people either going through the annulment process or those thinking of doing so. Additionally, Sister isn't scared to branch out and answer some good questions about what makes for stronger marriages and what weakens marriage. She also adds a personal touch by sharing how God worked His grace is the marriage of her parents.

In the end, it makes for a fun book, insofar as something as painful as an annulment or a broken marriage can be fun. My only complaint is that Sister Victoria doesn't spend more time marketting the book, since this hidden gem is truly among the best Q&A books on annulments.

Summary: Helpful resource for those with questions
Review: This helpful resource, which carries both the nihil obstat and imprimatur, is a great resource for anyone with questions on marriage, divorce and annulment issues within the Catholic church. Gleaned from the forums of a large web site, the topics posed in this question and answer format book are both relevant and common. Additionally, the book covers pre-marriage topics as well. The responses are offered in a concise and non-judgemental fashion, making the book both enjoyable to read and a good resource for those whose paths may have led them away from the Church.
