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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Remarkable, sobering ... must reading for anyone concerned about divorce and children.\" --Nancy J.
