More than 40 men and women confided their own experiences and personal "journey" making The Essential Guide to Divorce: What you really need to hear a truly different book, full of real examples and real outcomes. The authors, Sam Allen and Leanne Holdgate, are two straight-talking northern women in their forties who found themselves left to bring up their respective children alone after twenty years of marriage. Sam lives with her three children, and Leanne has a family of five. Blessed with a matter-of -fact approach and a good sense of humour, even if it is a little black, they wrote this book to share the knowledge they gained and to give the help to others that they could not find when they need to make sense of their divorces.
