The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: A 25 Year Landmark Study by Sandra Blakeslee, Judith S. Wallerstein, Julia M. Lewis

4.0

The unexpected legacy of divorce is a longitudinal study following children of divorced parents. In this book, we get a multitude vignettes and overarching findings that illustrate the effects of divorce. A lot of these elements serve to really hone and explore the unseen trauma of children that have been affected by divorce.

Even though this is non-fiction, it isn't dry. It was engaging and very emotional at times. I think this a book that everyone should read at some point especially if you are a child of divorce. For me, as a child of divorced parents, this book helped me make sense of my own childhood. It made me think and cry and think and then cry again.
