This deeply funny satire continues the story of Honest Angus McLintock, an amateur politician who dares to do the unthinkable: tell the truth. Just when Daniel Addison thinks he can escape his job as a political aide, Angus McLintock, the no-hope candidate he helped into Parliament, throws icy cold water over his plans. Angus has just brought down the government with a deciding vote. Now the crusty Scot wants Daniel to manage his next campaign. Soon Daniel is helping Angus fight an uphill battle against "Flamethrower" Fox, a Conservative notorious for his dirty tactics.

But that's only the beginning. Add a political storm in the capital and a side-splitting visit from the U.S. President and his alcoholic wife, and Terry Fallis's second novel is a wildly entertaining read full of deft political satire and laugh-out-loud comedy.

As Andy Heller struggled through his own divorce, he searched for a practical roadmap to help him, his wife, and his children navigate the emotional, logistical, legal and financial challenges.

The result: a game-changing look at how both parties can choose compassion and cooperation over anger and fear. Acknowledging the high emotional stakes and the high odds of divorce half of today's marriages end in dissolution Heller has written what one marriage and family therapist calls "a manual of best practices for getting through one of life's more difficult transitions."

It provides a less traveled route for navigating a divorce that can heal hearts, prepare for the future, and, most importantly, nurture the children. Step-by-step, Heller's game plan walks readers through four stages: Divorce Structure, Strategy, and Goals Action Steps to Help Your Children Manage Life's Changes Don't Forget about Your Own Needs When Divorcing Healthy Dealings with Your Ex Within those areas, core "strategy" chapters incorporate engaging anecdotes, original insights, and tips from experts. Readers will be empowered with invaluable communication tools designed to lower the temperature of flashpoint discussions and situations. The author even provides "scripts" for dealing with difficulties before debates can arise.

Heller writes about incompatibility and other interpersonal problems, but doesn't shy away from tough topics including emotional and physical abuse, infidelity, and restraining orders. Every divorce is different in its own way. Despite differences, however, most divorcing spouses share the same challenges. Readers will find common ground on subjects all too frequently overlooked in other books on divorce: Avoid Unilateral and Wish-List Expenses Therapy Curveballs Visualizing Your Post-Marriage Home Beware of Button-Pushing Events The Two Categories of Advice-Givers When and With Whom to Speak about Your Ex Where is My Deserved Affirmation or Appreciation? Take the High Road will be essential reading not only for men and women contemplating or going through divorce, but also for their friends, loved ones and the financial and legal professionals in their lives.
