How do you start a whole new life from the ruins of all you've known for so long? How do you handle the shame of divorce? What crutches work to pull you through your grief? How do you reenter the dating scene? Will you ever feel normal again? These are just a few of the questions people ask when a marriage collapses. Many divorce books cover topics like how to secure the best attorney, keep your financial assets, and have great sex again. Those are all helpful subjects. But FALLING FORWARD is a different kind of book. It explores the emotional journey of one man's divorce, from his wife's affair to his eventual healing, and it declares a resounding truth: you will survive.
