"Finnamore, already an accomplished novelist, easily makes the
transition to creative nonfiction. Progressing through Elisabeth
Kubler-Ross's five stages of death and dying - denial, anger,
bargaining, grief, and acceptance - she expertly creates... a
treatise on an important subject in family relations - divorce -
describing how she learned of her ex-husband's infidelity, realized
he wasn't the right man for her, struggled as a single mother, and
came to terms with losing her status as a "happily married woman."
Recommended.
