Healing Pain and Grief 3 reviews
Elena Bussolino

Lovely comfort of spoken word
I haven't really used self-hypnosis tapes before but when I got the opportunity to try Elena's tapes, I was curious and interested. My family had gone through quite an ordeal with several deaths in our family in a short amount of time so I was anxious to try and "heal" myself and maybe some family members. Elena's tapes are wonderful. She takes you through a meditative journey by talking you ...

Cherished Wish (The Allison Chronicles , No 2)3 reviews
Melody Carlson
Bethany House Publishers, 1998
Awesome!
I had never read any Melody Carlson books before, so when I chose this one out at a christian bookstore, I had no idea (except a slight one from the reveiw on the back) what an amazing book this is! If you don't like it, well than you must not really like books! This is a suspenseful and exciting book, that I highly recommend! I am now rushing to order the next two books! ...

The Breakup Diary8 reviews
Lisa Goich-Andreadis
Virtualbookworm.com Publishing, 2002
I LOVE THIS BOOK!
My copy of The Breakup Diary just arrived yesterday and I LOVE IT! I stayed up until 2 o'clock in the morning doing the exercises and I couldn't wait to get back to them today. I swear, it's like I have a therapist sitting right on my table just waiting for me to "talk to." I'm buying two more copies to keep on hand for friends. I've kept journals after breakups, but always sort of wrote all ...

Keith Badman
Omnibus Press, 1999
Every Little Thing
If you need to know every activity each Beatle has participated in from the minute Paul announced he was leaving the group, until the present time, this is the book for you. It's a diary, plain and simple, which lists day by day appearances, meetings, concerts, interviews, record releases, etc., many of which were obscure until now. If you're looking for narrative prose about the solo Beatles, ...

The Breakup Book: A Girl's Guide to Putting the Pieces Back Together (Teens & Young Adults)6 reviews
Diane Mastromarino
Blue Mountain Arts, 2002
A big help.
My mom gave me this book after I broke up with my boyfriend. At first I didn't want to read it -- I didn't feel like taking any advice at the time -- but she kept asking me if I'd liked it. I finally read it and am so glad I did! It got me laughing again and looking past all that I was going through. The author is really funny, and you can tell she is giving advice from her heart, which is so ...

The deal of the century: The breakup of AT & T4 reviews
Steve Coll
Atheneum, 1987
If you want to learn about telecom, this is the source.
As an MBA student interested in telecom, I found this book to be among the best sources of information about telecom regulation. It provides rich detail but is also very readable and only gets technical when necessary.

Jeanette Castelli
Urbantex Publishing, 2004
Shortcut to moving on and leaving the pain behind
Jeanette Castelli self-help book cuts through the long term recovery from breakups and gives the straight bottomline steps to get on with your life.
This is not a quick fix book nor a thesis in human behavior, it is just the right dosage of reality check and inner work. Extreme Breakup Recovery is a shortcut that works when it comes to getting over pain and moving on after breaking up.

The Business of America: Tales from the Marketplace - American Enterprise from the Settling of New England to ...9 reviews
John Steele Gordon
Walker & Company, 2002
Economic history is educational and interesting
Ten years' worth of writing, these forty-seven essays capture illumuniating anecdotes about economic history, captured in the stories of people, ideas and moments in time. Booms and depressions, clever inventions and failed plans, tough competitors and grandoise government schemes all receive their due. There is the story of King Cotton and how the gin made it profitable. Gordon reports on the ...

The Hollywood Book of Breakups21 reviews
Wiley, 2006
The Encyclopedia of Breakups
James Robert Parish has always had the ability to cut right through the froo-froo icing and get right to cake. That's why so many of his books are on my shelf. With this one, I have to start a new shelf. He packs in a lot of information: mini bios of all the players, what brought them together and the circumstances that drove them apart. He brings each era alive, mentioning timely rumors and ...

The Illustrated Mum7 reviews
Jacqueline Wilson
Corgi, 2007
Great book
I think that Illustrated Mum is a really good book, but I think that it can be a little intense, so I don't recommend for readers younger than 10, unless you read with a parent. It was very realistic and I really cared about the characters, especially the main character--Dolphin. It is the kind of book that you wan to read over and over, and you most definitely want her life to get better. ...

Growing up with loss
This is such a tender story. At first it seems that the young people in it are pretty settled and happy with life. The father has moved away, but they still have loving adults and good friends. By the end of the book, the full sorrow of their losses are exposed as well as their bravery in facing that which they cannot change. Through pictures of these lives, the reader is given a glimpse of ...

The Divorce Helpbook for Teens (Rebuilding Books)2 reviews
Cynthia MacGregor
Impact Publishers, 2004
Parents' Divorce Is Not the Teens' Mess!
Teen angst compounded by the turmoil of divorcing parents is not a subject for the fainthearted to tackle. But MacGregor's engaging style quickly establishes empathy with this challenging group, offering genuine warmth and reliable advice along with sensitivity to her readers' many vulnerabilities. Her objective is not to function as a single-handed self-help guru; throughout the book she reminds ...

During one of the toughest times in my life, a friend of mine brought me this book. The divorce of me and my husband was breaking me up inside and effecting the behavior of my children. The way the author explains the trials & tribulations of this experience and executes it in a way that it is very relatable.

Romantic Breakup: It's Not the End of the World (Teen Issues)3 reviews
Jennifer Rozines Roy
Enslow Publishers, 2000
Perfect resource for teens who are hurting
How great to stumble across such a well-written teen book dedicated to the experience of breaking up. This may be a "library book," but it could just as easily be in the pop-teen-girl/guy trade genre. It's just the right mix of reality, acknowledgment of what readers are going through, and hope. Every teen who's dating or considering dating should read it cover to cover. I sure could have used ...

Sounds True, 2000
Breaking Up Without Falling Apart.
I have listened to this collection several times. The author is a well known therapist with a lot of successful experience counseling people through difficult, painful breakups. Her compassion seems genuine and palpable. Her insight is interesting and refreshing. Basically, she argues that breakups occur when one or both partners are "finished" meeting objectives that could only be met ...

Showdown: The Lithuanian Rebellion and the Breakup of the Soviet Empire3 reviews
Richard J. Krickus
Potomac Books, 1997
Gives important information that the American media missed.
Krickus' work in this area is told in the format of a novel, not dry history. The people involved in critical moments are real. It is a compelling story and one that puts into perspective why the expansion of NATO should include the Baltic states.

My Family's Changing: A First Look at Family Break-Up (First Look at Books)2 reviews
Pat Thomas
Barron's Educational Series, 1999
Explain divorce to young children
This book provides a wonderful explanation of how a family changes through divorce, especially for a very young child. It is one of the few books that does not discuss step families, which was not an issue at the time of our split, and supports the idea of a child spending significant time with both parents. Best of all, it's a pleasant read. More than a year after our move, my child still pulls ...
