Publisher Description
A woman discovers her marriage is built on an illusion in this harrowing and ultimately inspiring memoir.
“Be forewarned: You won’t sleep until you finish the last page.”—Caroline Leavitt, author of Cruel Beautiful World
One night. One email. Two realities...
Before: Jen Waite has met the partner of her dreams. A handsome, loving man who becomes part of her family, evolving into her husband, her best friend, and the father of her infant daughter.
After: A disturbing email sparks suspicion, leading to an investigation of who this man really is and what was really happening in their marriage.
In alternating Before and After chapters, Waite obsessively analyzes her relationship, trying to find a single moment form the past five years that isn't part of the long con of lies and manipulation. Instead, she finds more lies, infidelity, and betrayal than she could have imagined. With the pacing and twists of a psychological thriller, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing looks at how a fairy tale can become a nightmare and what happens when “it could never happen to me” actually does.
Customer Reviews
You are not alone.
You were fortunate to have a support system. I didn’t, and I was trapped for 3 years with 2 babies. I left and he followed for 10 more years and said he knew how to finish 🙃 me! Then left, when I was ill.
Nobody can fully understand unless they have been through the ‘narc’ cycle themselves.
We got what we wanted…….until we didn’t! Glad you made it. Welcome to the rarified air of the peak of indifference! The book was triggering but believable.❤️🩹
