“This is a brave book, one that clearly steps outside the smugly self-protective rhetoric that too often cloaks the law and other professions. A genuine social contribution.”

“Some attorneys will bristle at the brutally frank discussions of how the system operates, but others will smile as they see a judge 'telling it like it is.' The fact is, nearly every popular notion of divorce is dead wrong, and Judge Stewart punctures some of the most common myths like a marksman.”
