“lifeline”: yes, something to address
the “shock” & sudden dread that only a divorced person can understand.

Mason, Robert Lee, & Caroline L. Jacobs. How to choose the wrong
marriage partner and live unhappily ever after. Atlanta: John Knox Press,
1979. 169p. Certainly, the play on words says more than the words themselves.
Medved, Diane. The case against divorce. New York, NY: D.I. Fine, 1989. 262p.
If not the only work, one of the most substantial works “against” divorce outside
the purely religious frame of reference.
Surely a masterpiece if there is anything at all to truly compare with
it.
Menefee, Samuel Pyeatt. Wives for sale: an ethnographic study of British popular divorce. New York, NY: St. Martin's Press, 1981.
336p. Hmm? Written in 1981 and by published by St.

divorce, in certain cases, considered:
addressed to the feelings of mankind. Philadelphia, PA: Printed
by Zachariah Poulson, Jr., 1788.

could not get published easily in 1788).
