What does happily ever after look like when your love story begins with divorce? In this one-of-a-kind joint memoir, Jonathan Weiler and Anne Menkens tell the story of how their relationship continued to evolve and how they co-parented their daughter once they decided their marriage was no longer working. With honesty and humor, Jonathan and Anne explain how they worked through the struggles that accompany a failed romance in order to be the kinds of parents, separately and together, that they knew their daughter needed. While divorce is a painful experience for many, the authors suggest that divorced parents are not fated to an unhappy, conflict-ridden existence. Instead, they can become the people and parents they want to be and find their best selves, even as the relationship that was supposed to define who they are is no more. Divorce: A Love Story, combines an in-depth account of the dynamics of Jonathan and Anne's relationship, the therapy process that led them to break up and the partnership they formed after their marriage ended. Their story shows that divorce need not prevent loving, committed parents from working together to make sure their children receive the love, support and positive family environment every child needs. Excerpted in The Huffington Post on 10/6/15 as "When I Attended My Former Wife's Wedding" "On a sunny June day in 2009, I attended the wedding of my former wife, Anne. The small church included many people who had been at our own wedding 14 years earlier, including my mother, who sat beside me. One person who had not been in attendance at our own wedding day was our daughter, Lillian, born two years after we wed. My heart swelled with pride as she delivered a reading from Margery Williams' book The Velveteen Rabbit to celebrate her mother's re-marriage. Anne and I have often laughed about the readings we chose for our own wedding, which all, somehow, had to do with not getting too close."

Two award-winning political scientists provide the psychological key to America’s deadlocked politics, showing that we are divided not by ideologies but something deeper: personality differences that appear in everything from politics to parenting to the workplace to TV preferences, and which would be innocuous if only we could decouple them from our noxious political debate. What’s in your garage: a Prius or a pickup? What’s in your coffee cup: Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts? What about your pet: cat or dog? As award-winning political scholars Marc Hetherington and Jonathan Weiler explain, even our smallest choices speak volumes about us—especially when it comes to our personalities and our politics. Liberals and conservatives seem to occupy different worlds because we have fundamentally different worldviews: systems of values that can be quickly diagnosed with a handful of simple parenting questions, but which shape our lives and decisions in the most elemental ways. If we're to overcome our seemingly intractable differences, Hetherington and Weiler show, we must first learn to master the psychological impulses that give rise to them, and to understand how politicians manipulate our mindsets for their own benefit. Drawing on groundbreaking original research, Prius or Pickup? is an incisive, illuminating study of the fracturing of the American mind.
