Split in Two: Keeping It Together
When Your Parents Live Apart. Karen Buscemi, $16.95 (ages
11 and up)
Your parents have split up and you live in two homes, which is
fine – except
when it's not. Like when you don't know where your stuff is. Or when your mom
has one set of rules, and your dad has another. Or when you keep losing your
homework and your favorite jeans.
If you can relate, this book is for you. It will help you learn how to negotiate
with your parents to get things you need, as well as how to become a better packer,
organizer, money saver, and interior designer. You'll also find quotes from others
who have gone through the split-living experience and lived to tell the tale.
In the end, you'll hopefully feel more self-confident, grounded, and whole: like
a sane person living one life, not a scattered person who always feels split
in two. |
