A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce
Author: Alec Baldwin (with Mark Tabb)
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press, New York, NY (2008)
Book Review by Matt Krogh
“I never wanted to write this book.” That’s the first thing that Alec Baldwin writes us, but every divorcing parent should be glad that he did.
The difficulties of divorce multiply when children are involved. Most parents, however, don’t have to deal with constant media coverage, international therapy requirements, and expenses of over a million dollars in legal fees—all spent in Baldwin’s effort to preserve parental rights after property settlement had already been reached.
