The Divorceketeer(R) Club, pronounced like Musketeer, is a story of friends who share one thing; they have all survived divorce. The book chronicles a, true to life, romance while offering thought provoking discussions of interest to every Divorceketeer(R). Tender hearted, Brenna, is searching for a deep committed relationship. Her deep buried feelings from her own journey surface throughout the book. Her sweet and caring nature attracts Austin, a pharmacist, who pursues her throughout the book. She conceals her pain to most, but her nurse friend, Ellie, can pick up on her struggles. She has an uncanny sixth sense and counsels Brenna and others with her advice and profound insight. Ellie's the creator and social director of The Divorceketeer(R) Club. She finds her challenge in Ida Beth, another nurse, whose poor choices make slow progress where men are concerned. The Cub has just welcomed Ida Beth's counterpart, Joe, a policeman, into their unique divorce survival club. He's a self proclaimed whore dog and is a main contributor in the lively debates such as; moving on, obsession, what men and women want, and always the question of when to have sex.

Many characters pop in and out of the story but through their camaraderie, The Divorceketeer(R) Club, reminds everyone there is solace in knowing you are not alone. The book is fun, humorous; sometimes poignant and always thought provoking. It's real life 101.
About the Author: Sometimes divorce is inevitable and learning to surviving is a must. One of the reasons I wrote the book was to help others. I wanted to offer healing through humor and stories other Divorceketeer's(R) could relate to. A Divoreketeer(R) is simply anyone who has survived a divorce. I was probably a good example of what not to do. Like many, I was devastated and possibly one of the slowest in history at moving on and healing. I believe everyone has to learn and grow in their own time, but relating to someone else who has had the same thoughts or the same feelings somehow helps. I believe there is solace in knowing you are not alone. I was going out one night and meant to say we were the three Musketeers and out slipped Divorceketeer(R) instead. It was cute and catchy and I have been working on the concept since my divorce in 1989. Though the journey's been hard, I have to say I'm a better and happier person for surviving. My hope is to shorten someone else's journey in their healing and moving forward.
