Having worked for over twenty-five years as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, Ann Hogan recognised that from a personal as well as professional perspective, people have to work through pain and heartbreak in order to come to an understanding of what happened in their relationships. When clients told her that she'd helped them to come to terms with and work through their breakups, she reflected on those experiences and was encouraged to write this book in an effort to help others in this situation.
