THE DIVORCE GIRL

by CARYN MIRIAM-GOLDBERG

SYNOPSIS:
Meet Deborah Shapiro, a New Jersey teenage photographer whose parents’ outrageous divorce lands her in the biggest flea market in the free world, a Greek diner with immigration issues, a New York City taxi company, a radical suburban synagogue, a hippie-owned boutique, and bowling alleys, beaches and bagel shops. As her home explodes apart, a first love, a series of almost-mothers, and a comical collection of eccentric mentors show Deborah how to make art out of life, and life from the wreckage of a broken home. This debut novel of Kansas Poet Laureate Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg travels through wild loss, untended grief and bad behavior with humor and imagination. Reminiscent of the works of Wally Lamb, Stephanie Kallos, and Kaye Gibbons, this coming of age story illuminates how a daring heart can turn a broken girl into a woman strong enough to craft a life of art, soul and beauty.

  1. wish it made all of us better, but sometimes it just doesn’t quite work out that way.

  2. I believe it depends on the person. I’m very much of an optimist. I look back over past struggles and see how much I’ve learned and gained from them. People think I’m crazy when I say I was fortunate to grow up in a poor household, but because I had to be frugal I learned to knit, sew and quilt at a young age. I was making all my own clothes by the time I was 12.

  3. I believe that many individuals are many stronger and better people from life’s struggles. Right now I am battling a disease and am remaining courageous and hopeful. It is hard to have to face adversity but it makes you a more compassionate person.

  4. Depending on the person, life’s struggles can make someone either better or bitter. If the struggles are too much, the person could just become overwhelmed and bitter, but alternatively, the struggles might make the person stronger/better for having experienced the struggles.

  5. I’ll say better as I believe that it’s made me a better person. But like others have said, bitter can also happen. Bitter is a much easier option.

  6. Depending on the struggle. One may be bitter at first, but ultimately grow better and stronger.

  7. Better, because struggles help you learn for the future and become a stronger person.

  8. I think it makes a person better, they appreciate life and the things that come that are good

  9. I think it depends on the type of struggles. I have been through many in my life, and I have felt different ways depending on what I was going through. I learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others, which I feel has made me a better person.

  10. I think life’s struggles can make you both better and bitter but it is up to you to decide how you want to live.

  11. It could go either way. If you learn from them, good. If you get bitter, worse. Thanks for the giveaway.

  12. I think that the further away you get from the situation the the better you feel about it and can see it more objectively. It is easy to be bitter at first though and think why me?

  13. It’s up to you, but I like to think that “everything that doesn’t kill us makes us stronger”.

    It Would Be Great To Win A Copy of
    The Divorce Girl by Caryn Miriam-Goldberg.
    In Response To Your Question(FROM READING THE SYNOPSIS, DO YOU THINK THAT LIFE’S STRUGGLES MAKE A PERSON BETTER OR BITTER?)
    My Answer Is It All Depends On The Person
    And What Kind Of Struggles They Have To Go Through.
    I Like To Believe”Whatever Doesn’t Kill Us Helps To Make Us Stronger”.
    Thanks For Having This Giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. I definitely think it is what a person makes of it. I have grown and learned from my early struggles. My sibling has grown bitter and given up. Similar experiences leading to different outcomes.

  16. I guess it depends on the person. Some people are able to overcome their struggles and are better for it while others become bitter.

  17. Struggles can definitely make a person better, if they are able to see clearly enough to learn from them.

  18. I think it depends on the person. I think that the struggles my husband and I had when we were young has made us better people. Thanks for having this giveaway.

  19. I think some people will be bitter, and some will be better. It depends entirely on the perosn.

  20. You have to hold faith in your heart and remember God’s plan for you might not be your plan for yourself.

  21. I think it’s within us to decide if it’s going to make us better or bitter. Some people take the upper hand while others decide they’d rather let it get the best of them.

  22. I think that most of the time life’s struggles makes us a better and stronger
    person.It makes us more compassionate to others

  23. Struggles always teach you a lesson, hopefully, and what you take from that depends on where you are in life. If you realize that not everything is about you, you become better. If you insist that the problems you face or those of others are all about you, you’ll be bitter. Struggle, learn, grow.
