by Jessica Bram

Happily Ever After Divorce: Notes of a Joyful Journey Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An honest, touching, uplifting collection of personal stories recounting one woman's triumphant journey from divorce to a joyful new life.

 

While more than half of all marriages end in divorce, joy and happiness does not have to die with it.  Happily Ever After Divorce: Notes of a Joyful Journeygives a seldom touched-on view of divorce '" a positive view of life on the other side.   A uniquely upbeat approach to "going it alone,"Happily Ever After Divorceshows readers how author Jessica Bram, an award-winning radio commentator and essayist, maintained a sense of self and humor during a most difficult time, and emerged triumphant.  

 

Chapter after chapter, readers will find hope and inspiration as they identify with Bram's heartfelt experiences.  While being true to divorce's pain and challenges, Bram's personal anecdotes reveal the exhilaration, joy, growth, and triumphs, of moving through difficult times and emerging stronger and happier at the other end. 

In this candid, intimately written book, readers will discover:

  • How the author found confidence and rebuilt self-esteem from handling everything from everyday situations (like changing a light bulb) to earning a living with newly discovered talents.
  • How children can thrive when divorcing parents approach custodial issues with civility and respect.
  • The delightful aspects of spending time alone, single parenting, and unexpected new friendships.
  • How Bram approached dating with good humor and an upbeat attitude.

Review:

"In her first book, essayist Bram convincingly disputes the common belief that there's no life after divorce. At age 41, the mother of three young children, Bram was in a loveless marriage. But she was surrounded by people who insisted it would be hell on her and her children; even the marriage counselor she and her husband saw presented her with studies about the irrevocable trauma divorce inflicts on children. But Bram was out to prove them wrong, and in her memoir, she recounts the steps she built to create a new life and take joy in finding her own true self. Whether slogging through legal paperwork, arranging custodial visits or re-entering the world of romance, Bram put her sons first, and they all came through intact. For anyone facing divorce, Bram's frank and optimistic tale shows that one can not only survive divorce but thrive in the new possibilities life will offer."
