PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a way, this book's title is misleading: while it implies a focus on women who grew up in divorced homes, the authors' solid and empathetic advice is applicable to anyone who has suffered childhood traumas affecting his or her ability to trust in the power of love. In a reassuring tone, Gaspard and her daughter, Clifford both products of divorced households offer tools for escaping relationship despair and forming a foundation for healthy, loving relationships. After advising readers to take a chance on love, the authors explain how to reexamine childhood events from an adult perspective, face old demons, repair broken relationships with parents, build self-esteem, and learn to trust oneself. The road map this volume provides should heal many strained relationships.
