Reviews
Ginny Morris made me laugh and get teary-eyed at the same time. Her approach to solving the practical problems and hard feelings inherent in joint custody arrangements is resourceful and just plain fun, and her ideas and solutions should help millions of other kids who go back and forth between Mom's house and Dad's. --Mary Lamia, PhD, clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst and former host of KidTalk with Dr. Mary, Radio Disney stations
