Happily Ever After Marriage by Sarah Hampson a "must read"

Witty, insightful and superbly written, columnist Sarah Hampson's new book, Happily Ever After Marriage is as entertaining as her Globe & Mail articles.

Personally, I've been a fan of Sarah's for some time and as the child of a divorced family, her musings gave me a glimpse into the struggles my own mother likely faced.

Obviously, the most quantifiable impact in divorce is the financial one. However, the challenges moving forward as a single mother are a statistically growing segment of our market. This book provides an entertaining and thoughtful read for all women.

Here's a terrific article with the author herself - http://www.bookclubs.ca/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307397683&view=printqa

Here's a couple of interesting articles written on Sarah's book:
