This book saved me. My parents have been in the midst of a nasty divorce for over two years now, and I never felt understood or supported until I found this book. Her writing is pages out of my life. I finished it in five days. From reading this book, I have definitely gained the tools needed for closure. I feel supported and comforted by this book more than words can describe. Thank you, Brooke. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to reach out to the adult children of divorce who feel all alone, confused, sad, and angry. Thank you for understanding mine and so many others' struggles with the explosion of the families they once knew. Thank you.
