The Wife

When Daniel Hayes — recently widowed and trying to rebuild his life in the gray calm of Washington - meets Maris, she feels like light after years of rain.
She cooks, she listens, she makes him laugh again.
He thought she was a miracle.
But miracles demand a price.
One by one, Daniel's children begin to see the changes: the nightly drinks, the isolation, the way he repeats Maris's words as if they're his own. By the time she moves him to the sun-washed promise of San Diego, their father is no longer the man they knew-he's a shadow under her spell.
Told through the eyes of the children who refuse to stop fighting for the truth, The Wife is a haunting story of love turned possession, and of a family determined to reclaim the man they lost before the woman who remade him destroys them all.
