Endorsements

“Some divorce books are entertaining or emotional while others instructional and advisory. Now What?, by Nancy Stevens, is both. It’s the first book to pick up for a person contemplating divorce - especially a military divorce. Unfortunately, what Nancy went through happens all too often. That’s why this is a must read to arm one’s self prior to battle. There are nuggets all throughout the book like 'tenacity and perseverance and cogency can pay off'. Now What? should be read before hiring an attorney or diving deep into the divorce process.”
John T. Winkler, II
Attorney at Law
“Nancy Stevens is a raconteur of the first order. The descriptions of her marital journey through its inception, demise and beyond, evoke such vivid real -world imagery, the reader immediately begins to walk in her shoes. Join Nancy as she experiences the pain, the headache, the education, the downright absurdity and yes, even the love and loyalty, that one finds in going through a divorce. The most valuable lessons a person going through a divorce can be found bound within these pages.”
Demian J. McGarry
Virginia Family Law Attorney
“As a divorce attorney in Huntsville, Alabama (and former active duty JAG), where I handle many military divorces, I found Nancy’s book very honest and candid from a military wife’s perspective, who is blindsided by a philandering husband. Her book takes you through the entire divorce process from her own personal perspective, and I believe it could be very insightful for others who are going through or about to go through a similar situation.”
Mitchell J. Howie
Law Office of Mitchell J. Howie. Author of How to Deal with a Military Divorce
“The author's detailed documentation of the injustices in our divorce court system is "must reading" for anyone going through a divorce, regardless whether the spouse is military. I am recommending Now What? to my divorce clients as the most informational book to date on how the "system" works to put spouses into financial ruin.”

“This is the perfect book to tell you how it feels to go through the daily process of divorcing a con man - after decades of a seemingly good marriage. What will happen next? Nancy helps you cope with a wry sense of humor thrown in, a significant education in a military divorce and unenforceable court orders. A compelling drama awaits the reader.”
