Gray Divorce: My Life Rewritten
Anne Smith had known for years that her marriage existed only on paper. As she faced her milestone 60th birthday, she ended her 29-year marriage and began a deeply personal journey to find herself. It was not a decision made lightly, and the risks were high, but it was her only option.
Raised in a strict, religious family where divorce was rare and mostly unacceptable, she felt like a failure as marriage number two crumbled to dust. She was angry that she had spent a significant portion of her life in unhealthy relationships, and that realization drove her onto the path of healing.
Gray Divorce: My Life Rewritten is a multi-layered personal exploration into childhood belief systems and behaviors that profoundly impacted Anne’s life and influenced who she chose as partners. With passages throughout the book taken directly from her journal, readers will follow the path Anne took as she made the decision to divorce, free herself from destructive patterns, and reclaim her life and her happiness.
✓ A deeply personal account of self-discovery
Debut Book by Anne L. Smith
Grey Divorce: My Life Rewritten gives those who are thinking about separating from a marriage later in life the insight and language needed to navigate this unchartered land. Vulnerable and accessible, it’s as if Anne L. Smith is sitting next to you, sharing her journal notes and deepest fears that come from the depth of her heart. Smith shares the emotional examination, self-honesty and bravery needed to go through and come out the other side of later-life divorcing. She shows us how to be intentional and find our voice while going through one of the most stressful life events.
Rare is the book that names what this emotional experience is like later in life and gently reveals how to listen to the needs of the heart. If you need inspiration or encouragement to invite self-examination or to move on from a relationship that no longer serves your needs, this book is a valuable source and will give you great insight.
