Living with Mom, Spending Time with Dad

Divorce can be extremely traumatic to families, especially children. This book takes us through a myriad of emotions that two children, Stephen and Alex experience through this tumultuous period. The children, especially Alex, give an extremely candid and honest account of the day-to-day trauma, the hostility, and, at times, the many poignant memories that he has. Living With Mon, Spending Time with Dad also addresses the concerns and anguish of being torn between two parents. Throughout the story there is that underlying hope that everything will turn out alright and everyone will be back in their original comfort zone. This book is truly endearing and tugs at your heart strings, particularly with the fervent prayer from Alex that God will make everything alright again. This is a family book that realistically, insightfully, and sensitively depicts what happens when a family is torn apart by divorce. It is a must read for children and parents t know they are not alone in their feelings, and to understand, in time, life goes on and things do work out. Mary Lou Morong CT Teacher
