a great read

If interested in the more psychological aspect of divorce and how it is viewed by the children that are affected, read this book! It's applicable to a variety of audiences and offers a seldom-mastered look at what it means for an adolescent to live through their parents' divorce and how it affects him or her in a variety of ways. It's a great look at how adolescents' lives change after a divorce.
