Radical Recovery: Transforming the Despair of Your Divorce into an Unexpected Good

A book for anyone faced with a midlife divorce, this guide walks readers through surviving the emotional and practical fallout of a marriage's end--and with humor and sympathy, urges readers to see the bright future waiting just ahead. The shock of a divorce can be devastating for women who thought, after decades of marriage, that their relationships were secure, their futures safe. Suzy Brown was one of those women. When her marriage of over twenty-five years ended because of her husband's affair with a younger woman, she found herself overwhelmed by the numbers of women she knew in her same situation. She started a small support group that has proven invaluable, and now she's sharing with readers what she and her friends learned through their experiences of tragedy, healing, and joy.

Suzy Brown conducts divorce recovery workshops. Since her midlife divorce, she has become a "survivor on a mission to help." She received her degree in journalism from the University of Kansas. She has co-authored several books, including This Day is for Joy and a children's book series entitled I'm Glad I'm Me. She is now happily remarried and lives with her husband in Kansas City, Missouri.
