Summary
Details

"""A tender hug of a memoir."" - Ashley Kalagian Blunt, bestselling author of Dark Mode

When Ellen Holtzman's marriage falls apart, she turns to a therapist for support, eventually becoming a psychotherapist herself. Years later, she treats two patients, Lisa and Meghan, whose marriages are similarly crumbling. Lisa is a timid woman who wrestles with the decision to divorce her unfaithful spouse. Meghan is torn between her traditional marriage and a growing awareness that she no longer loves her husband. Holtzman's work with both women forces her to reflect on her own personal history - particularly why she stayed in an unfulfilling marriage until her husband finally left her.

With compassion, sensitivity, and keen insight, Holtzman tells all three women's stories. As she does, she invites the reader into the inner life of a therapist in action. Holtzman also offers a realistic perspective on navigating the end of a marriage and teaches people in troubled relationships important lessons: how to increase self-confidence, become more assertive, and create a solid sense of who they are and who they want to be.

Bouncing Back is a compelling narrative of strength and self-discovery in the aftermath of divorce that will resonate with anyone contemplating, recovering from, or reflecting on the breakup of a marriage. It is a practical read that acknowledges the challenges of divorce while providing an authentic picture of moving forward with resilience."
