There are some things that you can't really understand until they happen to you - and divorce is one of them. In this crazy time marked by emotional and financial upheaval, even the strongest, most optimistic women need the support of those who've been there. In this book, readers get the real deal on divorce - from the real women who lived to tell about it. Readers will laugh and cry along with: Ariana, whose abusive husband never allowed her to have a job, parlays her first job in retail into designing clothes for department stores nationwide; Carla, whose lazy ex tries to take the money her hard-working parents left to her - and gets his karmic due; and Michelle, who discovers her "compulsive" spending is easy to control once she rids herself of a philandering husband. In this book, thirty-five divorced women reveal the naked truth about what went wrong, why they got divorced and how they survived the transition. Most important, they learn that they, too, can survive this tumultuous time in their lives - only to emerge stronger, wiser and happier.
