Barbara gives an overview of the book:

Divorce in the twenty-first century should come with an instruction manual, a release valve, and a support system. This book will serve as all three, in the form of comforting, insightful, and inspirational stories about surviving and thriving during and after divorce. In the bestselling tradition of the Cup of Comfort series, this volume will make divorcees laugh and cry as they commiserate about the universal issues of divorce: ex-husbands, ex-houses, alimony, child support, new holiday traditions, and much more. A shoulder to cry on and a friend to laugh with all rolled into one perfect gift book, this collection will be the best friend for every woman who picks it up.

My story is one of the 50 collected in here, entitled “Under the Big Top,” and it tells the story of how I hosted a graduation party for my daughter and stepdaughter, with two ex-husbands, two ex-wives, several ex-in-laws, a current wife, a current girlfriend, Halloween spiders, a young man with condoms and a watermelon fight. But no blood or death.
