The Four Original Divorce Sisters
The four of us met online when our marriages were falling apart. We each stumbled upon a message board for women getting divorced under the age of 30. It was in this online environment that we shared our stories about our marriages, our heartbreak, and our divorces while offering support to the other women who were going through the same thing. Our friendships quickly grew and we began to see each other as sisters, divorce sisters. This sisterhood is what inspired us to write our book. We hope to reach out to the millions of other young women divorcing each year, share some sisterly advice and inspire them to become young, divorced and fabulous!
