This month, we shine a light on an excellent resource guide by Terry Gaspard, DAUGHTERS OF DIVORCE (Sourcebooks), which fosters healing from the trauma of the ruptured family and helps girls and women to foster healthy relationships. The book won the Silver Medal Independent Publisher’s
Award and was Winner of the Best Book Award in “Self-Help: Relationships”
Over 40 percent of Americans ages eighteen to forty are children of divorce. Yet women with divorced parents are more than twice as likely than men to get divorced themselves and struggle in romantic relationships. In this powerful, uplifting guide, mother-daughter team Terry and Tracy draws on thirty years of clinical practice and interviews with over 320 daughters of divorce. It offers hope and practical advice that can help the millions of young girls and women affected by their parents’ break-up.
