Finally in paperback, the New York Times bestseller that has
fundamentally changed the way children of divorce see themselves as
adults--updated with a new preface by the author.
Divorce is at once a widespread reality and a painful decision, so
it is no surprise that this landmark study of its long-term effects
should both spark debate and find a large audience.
In this compelling, thought-provoking book, Judith Wallerstein
explains that, while children do learn to cope with divorce, it in
fact takes its greatest toll in adulthood, when the sons and
daughters of divorced parents embark on romantic relationships of
their own. Wallerstein sensitively illustrates how children of
divorce often feel that their relationships are doomed, seek to
avoid conflict, and fear commitment. Failure in their loving
relationships often seems to them preordained, even when things are
going smoothly. As Wallerstein checks in on the adults she first
encountered as youngsters more than twenty-five years ago, she
finds that their experiences mesh with those of the millions of
other children of divorce, who will find themselves on every page.
With more than 100,000 copies in print, The Unexpected Legacy of
Divorce spent three weeks on the New York Times, San Francisco
Chronicle, and Denver Post bestseller lists. The book was also
featured on two episodes of Oprah as well as on the front cover of
Time and the New York Times Book Review.
