I heard all the hype about this book on TV; apparently this book put Munson on the charts with this personal memoir, after writing 14 unpublished ones. If you are grappling with a spouse who wants to end the marriage, this book provides good tools on how to keep yourself sane without reacting and fighting with your spouse. She describes not allowing outside influences dictate your own personal happiness. Well that is difficult when you are married to someone who makes a choice that will affect your future. She tries to trust her gut instinct that it will all work out and focus on her own personal quest in life. I thought it was good yet left a lot of unanswered questions, since this is only written from her point of view and we have no clue as to what the husband was going through. I wish there was more about the breakdown rather than her own personal thoughts on what was happening.
