Second chances

"Second Chances, based on Judith Wallerstein's groundbreaking study of sixty families, has radically transformed the ways in which we think about divorce. A national bestseller, it is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of the long-term emotional, economic, and psychological effects of divorce - on adults and, most especially, on children. For anyone who is contemplating divorce, going through a divorce, or living in its aftermath, the candid and urgent stories gathered here are at once instructive and reassuring. With a new introduction that revisits some of the children in Second Chances who are now parents themselves, this eloquent and deeply moving classic belongs in every family's library."--Jacket.
