Picture the scene ladies. You meet your future mother-in-law for the first time, a delightful lady, to celebrate your engagement to her son. She bids you farewell and whispers some choice words, "He's your problem now". Surely you'd hear the Clue Phone ringing, the phone inside your head that sets alarm bells ringing?

Well, hindsight is a beautiful thing but it's never with you when you need it. If only Christine Clifford had picked up the Clue Phone on one of the numerous occasions when it was ringing off the hook, she wouldn't have entered into a marriage with an abusive alcoholic that inevitably ended in divorce. Instead, she was lost in the fantasy of who she perceived "Mr Wonderful" to be and had no idea what a tortuous marriage lay ahead. While there is nothing funny about divorce Christine found humor in her predicament. She takes full responsibility for marrying a man who had all the signs - clues - of being totally dysfunctional.

Firmly believing laughter is the best medicine, humor actively became part of Christine's therapy as she faced her second divorce. She appeared on CNN Live as "one of the world's leading authorities on the use of therapeutic humor". She learned about the healing power of laughter in 1994 as she underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy following a diagnosis of breast cancer. Christine believes the feelings of anger, fear, denial and grief of divorce parallels her experience with cancer. And yet, as she always has, she now laughs about it... a lot!

Today Christine speaks to audiences throughout the world about finding humor in the divorce journey, having secured significant corporate sponsorship along the way. Realizing there was a need for support and services for those going through divorce she launched Divorcing Divas, LLC (R) (www.DivorcingDivas.net) in September 2010, a company offering encouragement, hope and inspiration to those facing divorce.

The Clue Phone's Ringing ... It's for You! is an inspirational book with poignant and witty cartoon illustrations that will elicit laugh-out-loud responses from readers. As Christine says, "Don't forget to laugh!" (TM) And it includes invaluable advice for others such as "The Top Ten Tips for Divorcing Divas" or "The Top Ten Things Never to Say to Someone Facing Divorce", along with a valuable resources section.
