In her first book, Separation Survival Guide: When your marriage catapults into limbo, Tena Beth Thompson writes about life as she knows it. After 24 years of marriage to her high school sweetheart, Tena Beth eventually found herself divorced. Strong and independent, she not only turned her misfortune into a positive opportunity to help others cope with divorce, but also, to further her aspirations as a writer. Tena Beth shares her experience of the emotional roller coaster ride to hell and back with a touch of humor. “If I can bring a smile to just one person’s face for even a second, easing their pain, I will consider my book a huge success,” she says with conviction.
