Starting From Scratch When You’re Single Again

 

The world economy is in shambles, we are facing a new year; now imagine the devastation of divorce or being widowed, losing the means of financial and emotional support for your family.

New statistics reveal that 58% of marriages will end in divorce, while, according to the 2000 U.S. Census, 32 percent of women over fifty-five are widows. 

In Starting From Scratch When You’re Single Again Sharon M. Knudson and Mary Fran Heitzman serve up true, poignant stories from widowed and divorced women in their early twenties to late seventies who survived a horrific death-blow to their dreams for a happy, secure future. With God’s help each one found enough strength to not only survive – but  thrive.  Each woman’s story and the lessons learned provide encouragement and spiritual refreshment.
