Overview

Sarah Jacobs was forty-seven when her marriage suddenly ended without warning, forcing her to rebuild her personal, financial, and spiritual life from scratch. Until that horrible day, she'd solely envisioned herself as a traditional spouse, mother, and homemaker. Thrust out upon her own, she ventured forth, facing challenges she'd never dreamed of, including her first foray into the modern workforce world, the search for a place to live, and her new (albeit, unwelcome) identity as a single woman. Part memoir and part self-help guide, this book answers a sticky and often-avoided question: what happens when a devout Christian suddenly finds herself divorced? Divorce and a Strategy for Happiness is the tale from there to here: from the oblivious, happy-go-lucky marriage she'd loved and been a part of for nearly thirty years to the apartment she found herself in, a world away, rebuilding a new life alone. Can one reconcile traditional family values with the physical need to escape a toxic marriage? How does a middle-aged, unemployed woman make the reach from submissive homemaker to sole breadwinner? Is it possible to move on, and even thrive?
