You’ve probably heard that 1 out of every 2 marriages ends in divorce.   A statistic that surprised even us is that there are over 1 million divorces a year in the United States.  What this tells us is that there are a lot of people out there who need help, and more than that, they need information.

Walk up and down the rows of any major bookstore and you will find dozens of self-help and self-improvement books dealing with the emotional trauma of divorce and its aftermath.  We put together the reading list below just to give you a few titles that have received good reviews from psychologists, licensed mental health workers, and other professionals familiar with the needs of divorcing couples and their children.

Books hard to find through local bookstores may be available on the Internet through Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com, Books-A-Million.com, and bordersstores.com.
