Story Behind The Book

As a man divorced and re-married 28 years, I felt it was finally safe &quot;to go back in the water,&quot; and purge myself of the experience of divorce, while at the same time helping others who might be entering those same uncharted waters. It was a cathartic experience - that I wouldn't recommend to anyone else. If I can help just one man through this harrowing experience, it will have been worth the effort.

<span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong></strong></span><strong>A FUN READ FOR MEN OR WOMEN, MARRIED OR DIVORCED <br /></strong> <em>&quot;I'm a married woman, so you wouldn't think this type of book would be for someone like me. But since I have a very good sense of humor and don't offend easily, I loved it! <br /></em><em>&quot;I like this author, too. He attacks the serious topic of divorce with a sense of humor and writes as if he's having a face-to-face conversation with the reader. With every page I turned, I could feel a growing group of imaginary men over my shoulder yelling, 'Heck, yeah!' and 'You tell 'em, Joe!'&quot;<br /></em>Danielle Barkhouse, author of The Expat Arc <br /><em><br /></em><br /><em><strong>&quot;AS A WOMAN, I TRIED REALLY HARD NOT TO LIKE THIS BOOK...</strong><br />&quot;...but in the end, I thought it was really funny, which I think was the main intent of the author. Perrone admits that, although happily married now for almost 30 years, he has also gone through a divorce. The book is a comedic view of the whole experience from a man's perspective. <br /><br />Quotes like: &quot;What's hers is HERS and what's yours is HERS&quot; abound. Perrone offers some good tips in between the jokes. He says that men should hire female divorce lawyers, because a female is more likely to sniff out when the wife is just whining to the judge...Conclusion: A funny look at a serious subject.&quot; </em> <br />Christie Pinheiro EA ABA<br />The Self-Publishing Maven <br />Author of: The Step-By-Step Guide to Self-Publishing for Profit! <br /><br /> <br />
