NASHVILLE, Nov. 12, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- You never thought divorce would happen to you. But it did. You may feel traumatized, relieved, hopeful, afraid, or all of the above. And you're probably wondering what comes next? The YOU Plan: A Christian Woman's Guide for a Happy Healthy Life after Divorce, available January 14, 2014 from Thomas Nelson, answers the tough questions:

• What choices will help you heal?
   
• How can you minimize the trauma for your kids?
   
• When is too soon to date...and what about sex?
   
• How can you learn from your mistakes?
   
• And where is God in all of this?

Co-authors Michelle Borquez and Connie Wetzell have been where you are. They're Christian women who are a little ahead of you on the journey. Michelle was divorced for seven years and is now happily remarried. Connie is ten years into the journey and at peace with being single. They've each made good choices and their fair share of mistakes. In this book they rally their collective experience to help you navigate some of the twists and turns of the post-divorce lifestyle, avoid pitfalls, and emerge stronger and more confident.

The YOU Plan is a woman-to-woman, faithful, and hopeful approach to topics like acceptance, forgiveness, loneliness, online dating, sex, money, finding friends, and caring for your physical, financial, and spiritual health.

Most of all, this book is a powerful reassurance that no matter what has happened or what may happen next, God still has good plans for you. You will live and laugh and love again. This book can help you do it.
