Max Sindell's parents were divorced when he was six years old. That was his father's second divorce. His mother has since remarried and so has his father . . . twice. Max has dealt with all the angles of divorce, from traveling across the country alone at the age of eight, to dealing with his parents' new boyfriends and girlfriends, as well as step–fathers and step–mothers.
Max tried to find all the positive aspects of these divorces and the way they affected his family. He found that he has actually benefited from being a child of divorce:
He met lots of new people and learned a lot about his parents.
He became more independent and gained insight into himself.
He could talk more openly with both parents.
He learned how to stop blaming himself and separate his parents' problems from his life.
Max wants to share this information and much more with as many people as possible. Several years ago, he decided that the best way to do that was with a book written for kids, by a kid who had been through what they were going through, a book that communicates with kids on their level.
