Summary

After a small-town southern girl turned New Yorker watches her American Dream implode, she musters the courage to begin again - resurrecting the powerful woman her daughters had glimpsed during their family's darkest times.

A raw and riveting memoir, Disassembly Required invites listeners along, moment by gut-wrenching moment, on one woman's journey from betrayal and devastation to resilience and recovery. From learning of her husband's affair, to family court, to life as a single mother, Beverly Willett perseveres in resisting injustice, the loss of her family unit, and the sale of the beautiful Brooklyn Brownstone her family had called home.

Willett knows selling her house will require taking inventory of her possessions; she does not realize it will require taking inventory of herself. But as she surrenders her hopes for a life that hasn't turned out the way she imagined, the world opens back up. And Willett leaps toward it, embracing uncertainty.

Disassembly Required is a story of quiet struggle and persistence. Unflinchingly honest in its examination of the discomforts of change, it celebrates the opportunities for transformation.

Enjoyed sharing the author’s story

This is a good read ( listen!) for anyone who’s life hasn’t taken the direction they hoped it would. I enjoyed being there with the author throughout her divorce story. It felt real and I enjoyed it .
