HELP SAVE Generation EX!!! Help Jen Abbas!

The Amazon link to the book is below. There are so few resources available to ACOD's (Adult Children of Divorce), that the possibility that this book isn't going to be in print anymore truly breaks my heart. You can read the author's blog here (http://generationexfiles.blogspot.com/) to learn more about it.

If you are willing to help, please email the publisher at info@waterbrookpress.com . Help save this important book!

Here is my own impassioned plea:

Dear Waterbrook Press:

I read Jen Abbas' blog and was sad to learn that her book Generation EX: Adult Children of Divorce and the Healing of Our Pain may not have a second printing. The fact that this book may not be available in the future truly breaks my heart. This is a book that should be on the shelf now and next year and even five years from now. Every day on a Yahoo! group for adult children of divorce (and by this I mean adults whose parents divorce after a lifetime together), another brokenhearted adult cries out for understanding in the wake of their parents' divorce after 20 or 30 years of marriage. The only book other than this one that deals SPECIFICALLY with adults whose parents divorced in their adult years is A Grief out of Season, and it is difficult to find. It's sorely out of date, out of print, and not specifically Christian in nature. Generation EX, on the other hand, is relevant to today and has really helped me and my sister in dealing with our parents' divorce after 36 years of marriage (it's only been three years next month since my father left my mother).

This book needs to be a continually available resource for the increasing number of adults, like me, who find themselves brokenhearted over the fact that their parents have decided, for whatever reason, to divorce after a lifetime together. I wish that it had been published when I needed it in 2002, but more importantly, it's available now. It needs to be available next year and the year after that, because the message of healing and redemption is vitally important.

I sincerely hope that Waterbrook Press will run another printing of this book, but more than that, I hope that this book reaches those brokenhearted adults who need its encouragment from someone who's been there, done that, and burned the t-shirt, figuratively speaking.

Sincerely,
Pattie R.
