I think Divorce Remedy is better than Divorce Busting. Less theory talk about SBT.
I've got to chime in with The Walk Out Woman: When Your Heart Is Empty and Your Dreams Are Lost by Steve Stephens and Alice Gray
I got this book and it is good. I gave it to my W at the time of my begging and pleading. Her main comment - she liked the jeans the lady on the cover was wearing.
