How To Get Over Him And Learn From Your Mistakes: A Survival Guide is a self-help guide for women survivors of harmful or abusive relationships, ranging from being with a disrespectful man to being with philanderer or a thief, or suffering criminal attacks or date rape. For the past 100 years, Nick Harris private investigators have surveilled philanderers, tracked down debtors, sleuthed missing persons, pursued bail-skippers, traced hidden funds, hunted down frauds -- from workers' compensation to insurance scams to identity thieves -- debugged offices, retraced old murders and scratched the pale underbelly of Los Angeles. Leave that sanctity stuff up to the experts--the ones who have tried it again and again and again," Harris writes in his entry on Gingrich, a reported serial philanderer who famously presented his first wife (of three) with divorce papers while she was in the hospital undergoing cancer treatment. |
