But here’s the truth: love after divorce is not only possible, it can be richer, wiser, and more fulfilling than ever before.

In Navigating New Love: A Guide to Dating After Divorce in Your 40s, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Rachel Morrison draws on over 15 years of professional experience—and her own journey through divorce—to provide a compassionate, practical roadmap for rediscovering romance in midlife.
