EXCERPT FEATURING ROBIN BLAKELY from
ROBIN Blakely was a freelance writer and mother of two when her marriage of 12 years
ended in 1995.
Trying to cope, she suddenly found herself “with two chronically ill children, half of an
oatmeal-colored sectional couch, and a trusty IBM that wasn’t yet running Windows 98.”
She could have given up right then and there.
And who would have blamed her? Divorce is one of the hardest things anyone can go
through, emotionally, physically and financially.
