Reviews

“Kelly has written the book that I want to hand to all of my friends who are going through a divorce. They’ll humor me and read it because they are worried about finances—but they’ll love it because it will help heal their hearts. Highly recommended!”

Oonagh Duncan author of Healthy As F*ck: The Habits You Need to Get Lean, Stay Healthy, and Kick Ass at Life

“Twisted thoughts and hurt feelings make an already difficult life event even worse. That’s just a fact. And while everyone, almost universally, admits that divorce sucks, Kelly’s book gives practical advice on how to move past the ugly and gain the skills to come through the suck with what you need to move forward. (Plus, I like the pictures!) Untying the Knot is the gift to get back your power and sense of self during what LaVallie calls the biggest investment in your future.”
