Divorce Memoir

For fans of Anne Lamott, Abigail Thomas, and Ayelet Waldman, a postdivorce memoir, one woman's story of starting over at 60-in youth-obsessed, beauty-obsessed Hollywood. After the death of her best friend, the loss of her life's savings, and the collapse of her once-happy marriage, Meredith Maran - whom Anne Lamott calls "insightful, funny, and human" - leaves her San Francisco freelance writer's life for a 9-to-5 job in Los Angeles.

The true accounts of my personal abusive marriage narrative are revealed with the intent to engage the listener in self-reflection and self-awareness, and much more. How do we know when it is safe to rightly say we have become victims of domestic violence?

Here's the Bright Side is a wise, moving, and funny book about what people gain from situations of loss. Using examples from others' experiences as well as her own, Rollin inspires with stories that illustrate how the hardest times can lead to happier, richer, more powerful lives.

En octubre de 2006 muere Héctor Libertella, escritor de culto de la literatura argentina y padre de Mauro Libertella. Cuatro años después el hijo escribe esta novela, que recuerda los últimos días de su padre y también los momentos fundamentales de la relación entre los dos. Mi libro enterrado enhebra así el hilo dorado de un vínculo filial. Como una caja de resonancias en miniatura, es al mismo tiempo una despedida, un réquiem, un homenaje, una canción desesperada y un texto que relata una entrada a la literatura: un libro sobre cómo se escribe un primer libro.

The Miracle of the Breaking entreats you to look beyond the meager pieces of yourself, a scattering of qualifications that are most certainly not enough for the task ahead, and look to the Miracle Worker who can transform even the smallest offering. Darlene Rhodes, pastor and international speaker, shares her intimate story of rising from an ocean of fear steeped with abuse and disappointment, and taking hold of a new hope and future with God.

Find humor and hope in this compelling and heartwarming journey through depression, divorce recovery, and breast cancer. After two broken engagements, Tiffany Allen thought her fairy tale had finally come true when her childhood crush re-entered her life in her 30s.

Captivating, psychologically nuanced writing covers five years of guts and wit as she navigates: the splash zone of alcoholism, unbelievable deceit in many forms, single parenting, divorce court without a lawyer — that always goes well — and more. Poignant therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Phoenix offer insights as sharp as the New York doc's shoes.

When Lauren Peacock was 23 years old, she got her fairy-tale wedding. But she soon discovered that a dream wedding doesn’t guarantee a dream marriage.

With unapologetic honesty, she reveals even the least-flattering details of her dating life, which are so relatable they’ll make listeners either cringe or laugh out loud.
