Title: "When "I Do" Becomes "I Don’t": Practical Steps for Healing During Separation and Divorce" by Laura Petherbridge, featured DivorceCare expert.

Snapshot: When Laura Petherbridge realized her marriage was ending, she asked the gut-wrenching question, "What do I do now?". Found through her own experience and through two decades of caring for those grieving the loss of a marriage, Laura offers practical answers about divorce. In the midst of pain and confusion, you might also be asking question such as these...

How do I find where I belong when I no longer know my identity?
If I get an attorney, will my spouse think I’m giving up on our marriage forever?
How do figure out a budget on my own?
How do I reenter the workplace after years of staying at home?
Will I ever be happy again?

With straightforward, sensitive answers to these questions and others, Laura offers real-life help, spiritual insights and new hope for the future.

Lorene's Quick Review: I think the book is a worthwhile read. Each chapter deals with a different subject and throughout each chapter Laura includes FAQ’s she’s asked herself or that others have asked – then she writes a response that is solid and biblically based.
