When Hollywood screenwriter Chris Easterly's wife came clean about her affair, his mind went blank. And so began the long, unimaginably difficult reconstruction of his life after marriage. Relentlessly honest and profoundly moving, 'Falling Forward' explores the emotional journey of one man's divorce, from his wife's affair to the seemingly bottomless grief that followed to his eventual healing and the realization that he would survive.

This surprisingly hit way closer to home than I expected. I listened straight through, and was brought to tears many times. Thank you for the offering.

Very good

Although I fought back tears through most of this, it was reassuring to know that I am not the first on this journey. It has helped me come to terms with what I am feeling. A must read for any man going through this.

Painfully spot on

I was interested in reading this book to learn a man's point of view of divorce. It was not what I expected. While there was a great deal of emotional conflict and musings on faith, a couple of things stood out to me. He wanted a wife not a buddy. Many of the most successful relationships involve being friends who can talk to one another. The second thing that stood out is the comment that he couldn't understand why she had the affair. Affairs tend to happen because something is missing in the relationship. Love alone is not always enough. While he wanted to attend couple's counseling and she reluctantly went, he never gave her what she really wanted. She did tell him the reason why and I don't think he really understood it. She wanted to be desired. A good sex therapist would've helped. This was a rather naive view of marriage and divorce. The narration was beautiful.

Thanks to Chris for wonderfully sharing his challenging season to us. Now I know that loving my husband is sharing with his pain and identity with his ex-wife. Grief has no timeline, but I know better amd will not be jealous when I sometimes see remnants of his ex-wife. I trust God that this journey He gave us will be our unique story of healing and I am so privileged to be a part of it..

The book that opened my heart for my husband..
