In 2006, Mary Turner Thomson's world shattered when she discovered her husband Will was a bigamist, con man and convicted sex offender. Unbeknownst to her, this would be the start of a bold new chapter in her life, fighting to protect other women from his heartless gaslighting campaigns and putting a stop to his endless deception
Autentické vyprávění ženy, jejíž muž ji léta klamal. Bigamista, žijící dvojí život, snad milující obě rodiny, avšak neschopný jednu z nich opustit. V okamžiku, kdy vše prasklo, ještě se snaží "zachránit si čest" a tvrdí, že jde o komplot CIA, od které v té době odchází. Snaží se svou ženu přesvědčit, že "druhé manželství" bylo jen krycím manévrem, patřícím k jeho práci. Uvěřila, opět a znovu, věřila i během soudního procesu, proto zklamání, které ji na konci čekalo, bylo tak nesnesitelné. Kniha, kterou sepsala je výpovědí ženy, jež chce napříště žít v pravdě a jež takto očistila své jméno i duši. Už nechce být hlupačkou, už nechce, aby okolí na ni pohlíželo s laskavým soucitem.
"When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who'd given up trying to find Mr. Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will's work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everthing when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world. And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as 'the other Mrs. Jordan'... Mary Turner Thomson recounts what happened after she discovered every word he'd said, from the first moment, was a lie." -- back cover.
