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.

Don’t listen to bad reviews
How dare the person who left such a heartless review- This is a memoir! You obviously have no background in psychology or any personal experience that allows you to understand what the author went through- perhaps you have similar personality traits as her ex husband and are incapable of real empathy-
This memoir spoke to me- Thank you for sharing your story and giving others the opportunity to know they are not alone if they too have experienced crazy making people in their lives-
These people create chaos, hurt, pain, drama into the lives of otherwise drama free and rational people. They are much like a circus conductor- your life becomes a 3 ring circus and you are jumping through hoops and being shot out of the cannon while they crack the whip-
Horrible weak character
I hate this story. It makes women seen so weak and gullible. She says she loved her husband all at once. But loved her daughter a little at a time. Like what!?! Worst book ever.
