Publisher's Synopsis
While conceding that the dissolution of a relationship is a universal—and universally painful—experience, this volume argues that it is possible, even after a breakup, to find a path to happiness. The stories gathered in this book all deal with the end of a romantic relationship and, while the circumstances of each are different, all share a message of emotional renewal. The authors of the pieces share their own unique ways for facing the situations generated by this turning point in their lives, proposing that, while relationships are a fundamental part of being human, it is the responsibility of each individual to spur him- or herself to “swim to shore,” deciding in each moment to push forward.
