It's August 1930 and storm clouds are brewing across Europe, heralding the rise of fascism and the upheavals of the Great Depression. Even so, these frightening realities can't stop twenty-four-year-old Betty Harbert from making the most of her tour of the continent. Sailing from Montreal with her wealthy Aunt Barbie and cousin Win, Betty attends a Parisian finishing school, tours Europe twice, and spreads joie-de-vivre wherever she goes. Based on a stack of letters written by the author's mother during her year abroad, this novel offers an exciting glimpse of inter-war life in some of Europe's great cities, through the eyes of a vibrant young woman who never failed to appreciate the magnificent world around her. Whether she's riding around the English countryside in her date's Morris Cowley sports car, at the salon getting a Marcel wave, or touring the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden, Betty's great wit and warmth come through in every line of this account of her adventure abroad.

“A top-of-list guidebook for separating and divorcing parents.” 
—Barbara Fidler, Ph.D., Clinical Developmental Psychologist\nAnyone whose marriage or common-law relationship has ended usually feels bewildered and adrift. “Just what on earth happened to me and how can I make sure it doesn’t happen again?” they wonder. Both authors have personally experienced divorce and its repercussions and have gone on to find love again. Building on David’s legal knowledge and Pat’s personal experiences, they look at divorce from both sides of the desk: a divorce lawyer seated opposite a distraught client.\nThis book walks through the five recovery stages that follow relationship breakdown: reacting to upheaval, managing logistics, taking care of your children, navigating your feelings, and moving forward.\nPairing My Divorce Journal with a blank writing journal creates a road map to your new, fulfilling future. By exploring your pain, yearnings, and priorities with refreshing candour, your guided path to moving forward will come into focus. The written exercises will keep you grounded and engaged during this exhilarating process. The worksheets you periodically complete will show how much you’ve already accomplished.
