Divorce Survivor

“Thank you for your wonderful book Formerly A Wife. I never thought that I would find myself in such straits and it seems to me to have happened so quickly. You have done a wonderful job of covering the subject and its attendant fall-out. I had almost given up, but your practical solutions prepare me for hope. Thank you very much!”

Bonnie Kopp, Multnomah Bible University

“Delightfully refreshing and real.”

Mary Ulick, Rebuilders-Divorce Recovery, Willow Creek Community Church

“It is a wonderful book! Real, humorous in appropriate ways, transparent, wise and very practical too. Those of us who had husbands who chose to leave could relate in ways that affirm our own personal and painful experience.”

Dr. Clyde Cook, President, Biola University

“You have done an excellent piece of work on encouraging those who have gone through the pain of divorce. Thank you for your honesty and insightfulness and I trust that the Lord will use your work to bring healing to many.”

Today’s Christian Woman

“As a former wife, the author takes a refreshing, sensitive approach to surviving the tragedy of divorce. From handling memories and painful comments to feeling comfortable in a church filled with married couples, O’Brien offers wise, hopeful advice.”

American Association of Christian Counselors Resource Review (AACC)

“Ms. O’Brien shares the lessons she has learned about redefining identity and family relationships, finding one’s place in the church, and coping with the remarriage of one’s former spouse. Throughout the book, it is clear that personal interaction with God is the key to survival and growth.”

Dr. Larry Russell, Pastor and Counselor

“This book should be in their hands the moment the marriage is over. It’s a gold mine – an extremely valuable tool.”
