Description

Nancy Stevens captures attention as she leads you through an unimaginable divorce story of deception and cruelty. Offering insights and practical take-aways, she gives hope to readers experiencing their own journey.

As a contented Army wife, married for forty-six years to a career Army officer, Nancy is faced with a cheating husband who, after conducting a clandestine affair, suddenly decides to divorce her. In thirty-one heart-breaking chapters, Nancy relates the twists and turns dealing with a pathologically lying husband, a scheming mistress who becomes the second wife, a military bureaucracy that protects its own, the traumas of legal issues and bankruptcy manipulation, ugly depositions and traumatic court appearances.

With creativity, wit and humor Nancy’s account reveals both struggle and hope. Helpful strategies and cogent advice are included at the end of each chapter plus words of encouragement throughout to help other women experiencing or contemplating divorce. These resources will help readers searching for answers on how to prepare, protect themselves and take the next steps.

Advance Praise

“Nancy Stevens is a raconteur of the first order. The descriptions of her marital journey through its inception, demise and beyond, evoke such vivid real-world imagery, the reader immediately begins to walk in her shoes….The most valuable lessons a person going through a divorce can be found bound within these pages.”
--Demian J. McGarry Virginia Family Law Attorney

“Nancy is heart-breakingly honest in writing about the pain of her divorce, but she also shows great humor and gives very practical advice to people who find themselves in the same predicament.”
--Ann Bilodeau, Former Development Director, Stanford University

“Some divorce books are entertaining or emotional while others instructional and advisory….this is both. It’s the first book to pick up for a person contemplating divorce - especially a military divorce…this is a must read to arm one’s self prior to battle…should be read before hiring an attorney or diving deep into the divorce process.”
--John T. Winkler, II, Attorney at Law

"As a former JAG officer, handling military divorces, I found Nancy’s book very honest and candid. Blindsided by a philandering husband, Nancy takes you through the entire process [that] could be very insightful for others."
--Mitchell J. Howie, Author of "How to Deal with a Military Divorce”

"You laid it all out—the good, the bad and the ugly. So many will benefit from your fine book—and understand they are not alone. The advice at the end of each chapter is informative and educational…priceless."
--Patricia Gallo-Stenman, author, mother of 3 and fellow divorce journey traveler
