Til Divorce Do Us Part

About the Book

Til Divorce Do Us Part! is a novel based upon a divorced father (Michael Watts Sr.) who has a very turbulent relationship with his ex-wife (Anne Watts), who is the mother of his two children. Anne is a constant thorn in her ex-husband's side. She is a scorned woman who feels that she has an axe to grind with her ex-husband in spite of his being a great father to to their children. He faithfully adheres to all of his responsibilities as it involves his role as a non-custodial parent, i.e., he always pays his child support on time, he has regular (frequent) visitation periods with his children and he is always there for them whenever they need him. Hence, he is actively and positively involved in their lives. Nevertheless, that is not good enough for Anne, as she harbors ill-will toward Michael as a result of their rocky ten-year long marriage, which wrecked Michael emotionally and placed him in the poor house. Anne does everything in her power to make Michael's post-divorce live miserable. After Michael decides to move on with his life when he once again fell in love and found a new life (Carla Thompson), all hell breaks loose. At that point, Anne launches an all out assault on her ex-husband. It was became obvious that she no longer wants him, and she does not want Carla to have him either. During Michael and Carla's marriage, Anne does everything in her power to drive a wedge between the new Mr. & Mrs. Watts. Anne uses Michael's love for his children as lethal weapon against him. Michael is the antithesis of a deadbeat dad (to his own detriment) as he altruistically places his children's health and welfare above that of his own.

About the Author

Kevin A. Hill author of Til Divorce Do Us Part! Til Divorce Do Us Part! is a novel that illustrates the struggles of a divorced father (Michael Watts Sr.) who strives to be a responsible father for his two beautiful children in spite of having to interact with a scorned ex-wife (Anne Watts) whose mission is to make his life a living hell. I am a member of the Detroit Writers Galore. I graduated from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor with a BA in sociology and I am currently a Senior Budget Analyst for the City of Detroit. As a divorced father, I truly believe that my audience will identify with and embrace Michael's struggle to overcome a scorned ex-wife to become a strong and positive father figure to his children that he truly desires to be. They will also identify with Michael's attempts to get his life together and find happiness in the aftermath of a rocky decade long marriage and a bitter divorce. Til Divorce Do Us Part! was written to challenge the prevailing myth in American society that all fathers who are no longer married to (or who no longer physically reside with) the mother of their children are 'rotten to the core.' Hence, this book counters the false perception that (held by many) in this society that all non-custodial fathers are 'deadbeats' and 'irresponsible men.' I live in Detroit, Michigan with my wife, Yvonne, and I enjoy writing, walking, gardening and traveling.
