Simple truths, great wisdom, and a lot of "I have been through it" advice are packed into this little book. These young authors write about their own experiences with their parents' divorce frankly and clearly—in a way that can really be understood by readers ages 8–13. This is more than just a recounting of experiences. It is a guidebook for getting adjusted to a new life, and a means for opening new avenues of communication at a difficult time in everyone's life. As the children in your life read on, they will see how other kids have negotiated the really tough times. They will quickly learn that they are not alone in their questions, their fears, their anger, or their pain. They will come away with effective new tools for coping, taught by some of the best teachers around—kids like themselves!
