You piqued my curiosity and I googled it. The book is actually called "A Promise to Ourselves"

Okay, great....did you read it, or you just wanted to correct me?

I just corrected you so ppl can find out about it quickly. Sounds pretty interesting to me, I think he's right on the money how separation/divorce gets so ugly that usually rational people become totally irrational, regardless of how it is evident it is detrimental to the children involved.

I looked up some reviews on the book and they say it degenerates at times into some very negative comments, which detracts from the main purpose of the book, to create awareness of the flawed system of divorce.

I would still read it though, definitely.

So back to the original question...How to ensure Dave's run, and the bill, don't get lost in the war to win the house on Sussex...I think it needs more media attention...not the run, perhaps, but certainly the issue...
