Mirrored Lives was written with the intent to empower all women to believe in themselves and come to the realization that they can overcome anything no matter what their age, or how bad the circumstances.

In their new book, authors Jan Lander and Lib Lander, two ex-wives of the same man, write about how their marriages to Sidney Lander, once an important Washington political figure, challenged their views on commitment, family, and "happily ever after."

Sidney Lander was a charming, charismatic and highly educated political figure at the Pentagon, but he also had another side. The same charming, handsome man who had women falling at his feet could also be cruel and heartless, cold and calculating to the women who loved him.

Neither Jan nor Lib could understand his behavior and neither could help him.

Through their true accounts of their difficult marriages, Jan and Lib show readers that while we can't fix all relationships, we can recover from deep wounds, find acceptance and forgiveness, and rebuild a new life as a stronger and happier person.
