Guide Review - Second Time Around: Everything You Need to Know to Make Your Remarriage Happy
The author answers the question, "Why Do Some Remarriages Work and Others Don't?" in this interesting and practical book.
Utilizing statements and real-life stories from the folks they interviewed, Susan Kelley and Dave Burg provide both insight and solutions through examples and factual information. They discovered that it is critical to put closure on a first marriage, to rebuild self-esteem, and to learn from the past so that the same mistakes aren't made again in selecting a new mate. Highly recommended.
