Ten-year-old Ginny Morris, whose parents are divorced, lives with each parent a week at a time. One day when she arrives at her dad's after a week with her mother, she discovers that the house is spotless, the yard is spruced up, and even her own room has been messed with. The reason: Dad has a friend named Ruth.
In the aftermath of this discovery, Ginny grapples with a broad range of feelings: feelings of alienation, anger, and disgust toward her father, grief that her parents won't reconcile, lack of understanding and support from her best friend, a desire to live with her mother full-time, fear that she'll lose her relationship with her father, and antipathy toward Dad's friend. The story takes place over a week's time and comes to a reasonable resolution, with Ginny beginning to accept the directions her parents are taking in their personal lives.
Ages 8 - 12 years

When a child's parents tell her they have decided to divorce, the last thing she wants to do is talk about it.
Instead, she wants to roar like a lion so she can't hear their painful words, or turn into a fish and hide her tears in the sea, or even become a bird and fly away. But with her parents' help, she learns that while some things will change, many other things, especially their love for her, will remain the same.
In A Note to Parents, Philip Stahl, PhD, a psychologist specializing in divorce and custody issues, explains children's common reactions to divorce and offers parents suggestions for helping their children adjust to the changes in ways that are healthy and positive.
