‘Twice Adopted’ excerpt

A definition of divorce as found on Page 37 of Michael Reagan's new book (provided by Don Otis of Sandpoint):

"Divorce is where two adults take everything that matters to a child -- the child's home, family, security and sense of being loved and protected -- and they smash it all up, leave it in ruins on the floor, then walk out and leave the child to clean up the mess."

"Twice Adopted" isn't literature, but it is an insight into what happens to children of divorce and a child who is abused by someone he trusts. And how someone can overcome the shock of the two betrayals.
