 | Rebuilding by Bruce Fisher, Robert E. Alberti
Internationally renowned divorce therapist Bruce Fisher and his 800,000-copy bestselling guide, Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends, have made the long and difficult process of divorce recovery a lot easier. Fisher's divorce process rebuilding blocks offer a proven, supportive nineteen-step process for putting one's life back together after divorce. Built on more than two decades of research and practice, Rebuilding reflects feedback from, and the experiences of hundreds of thousands of divorced men and women who have read and used Rebuilding -- many of them on their own, others in one of thousands of groups the book has spawned in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and elsewhere.

 | Aphrodite's Daughters by Jalaja Bonheim
Spirituality is integrated with Eros in these first-person accounts of sexual experiences told by women over the age of 40. The author's interviews with all sorts and conditions of women--single, married, heterosexual, bisexual, and lesbian--touch upon the pathological (sexual obsession and betrayal) as well as the positive (sensuality and the journey of the soul), and combine to set an upbeat tone as compelling as the power of the deity they seek to celebrate.
