Good Riddance: An Illustrated Memoir of Divorce (PagePerfect NOOK Book) Book

When you think you live in a Norman Rockwell painting—married 18 years, three kids, beautiful old house in the country, successful career as a writer—you don't expect there's another side to the canvas. Until you read a lovesick e-mail to your husband . . . that didn't come from you!
Good Riddance is an honest and funny graphic memoir about suffering through and surviving divorce. Cynthia Copeland chronicles the deep pain, confusion, awkwardness, and breakthroughs she experiences in the "new normal" as a wife who's been deceived, a mom who's now single, a divorcée who's dating, and a woman who's on her own figuring out what she truly wants from her life. Copeland tells her story with an emotional candor and spot-on humor that makes Good Riddance poignant, painful, and hilarious all at once.

Praise for Good Riddance:

"Copeland's light-hearted and comical artwork, reminiscent of Roz Chast's, takes some of the sting out of her sorrows, allowing readers to nod in sympathy or chuckle at her missteps." —Publishers Weekly

"Even as she tells a story that is sometimes heartbreaking, Copeland has a way of making you laugh out loud. Full of insight about family, friendship, love, and resilience, Good Riddance is essential reading for anyone who has ever gone through a divorce."
— J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of Maine and Commencement

"Copeland takes us gently through a tough chronicle of divorce with wit, humor and more than a little hope."
— Phoebe Potts, author of Good Eggs

"For anyone who's ever been dumped and had to start over, this charming book should be required reading. Grab a glass (ok, bottle) of wine and settle in. There's a light at the end of your tunnel and it starts with Good Riddance."
— Jill Smokler, New York Times bestselling author
