Product Description – from Amazon.com
Katherine Clarkson has the perfect life. Married to Brad, a loving and handsome husband, respected in their church and the community. Two grown daughters on the verge of starting families of their own. A thriving ministry. Good friends. A comfortable life.
She has it all–until the day a reporter appears with shocking allegations. Splashed across the local news are accusations of Brad’s financial impropriety at his foundation and worse, an affair with a former employee. Without warning, Katherine’s marriage is shattered and her family torn apart. The reassuring words she’s spoken to many brokenhearted women over the years offer little comfort now.
Her world spinning, Katherine wonders if she can find the truth in the chaos that consumes her. How can she survive the loss of what she thought was the perfect life?
For those interested. I’m giving away this novel.
Robin Lee is one of my favorite authors. One thing she did in this book, which I wasn’t used to seeing her do in other novels, was use the first person point of view for one of the characters. If you read this book, I highly recommend you finish it. Something happens at the end that surprises you, making you stop and wonder when people are accused of something, whom should you believe is telling the truth? The subject of adultery is dealt with in this novel, however, based upon the outcome, I feel that it’s dealt with in a very different, yet believable manner. This book was a good, quick read. I read it on the plane while I was on my way home from Chicago!
