Sometimes we come across the best life changing books. Ever read a book and you can’t look at life the same way after you have read it? Me too.
So, when you come across a book and you think that you are so grateful to have read it. When you come across a book and so glad you didn't miss it. There are books that apply to divorce lawyers that I think all of us should have an opportunity to read and even enjoy.
