“In this emotionally charged memoir, Waite describes how the man she married turned out to be not at all what he seemed. A well-written and at times gripping story of deceit.”—Publishers Weekly
What do you do when you discover that the person you’ve built your life around never existed? When “it could never happen to me” does happen to you?
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 Thinglooks at how a fairy tale can become a nightmare and what happens when “it could never happen to me” actually does.
