". . . At separation it felt like childbirth. I knew that nothing would be the same but I didn't have a clue how it would be from that day . . ."

Roberta Shaw's separation and divorce was life changing - a wrenching, confronting episode which she felt, intensely and honestly.

This engrossing book chronicles the aftermath of separation but, more particularly, it presents a vivid and touching picture of a feisty, passionate young woman, devoted to her two children, determined to survive the emotional, physical and financial turmoil brought on by separation and divorce.
