Crowley
, who has written widely on family issues, uncovers the reasons for why men and women divorce--and the penalties and benefits that each pay for their choice. From the outside, many may ask why couples in mid-life and readying for retirement choose to make a drastic change in their marital status. Yet nearly 1 out of every 4 divorces is 'gray.'
Crowley
sheds light on why divorce occurs--seeing marriage in a different lens, understanding the seismic shift in individual priorities, and the impact of the increase in life expectancy.

With a realistic yet passionate voice,
Crowley
shares the personal positive outlooks and the necessary supportive public policies that must take place to best help new divorcees."--From publisher.
