Synopsis With a young daughter and a 16-year marriage to an adoring husband, Julie Metz thought she had the perfect life. But when her husband collapses and dies in their kitchen, Metz not only must cope with his death, but is forced to face the revelation that for their entire relationship her husband was unfaithful with her, carrying on a series of cruel affairs. With her entire concept of reality obliterated, Metz must, at the age of 44, reevaluate everything she has ever known about life, love, trust, and happiness. Her powerful memoir explores the secret undercurrents of a "normal" life, and shows how nothing is ever truly perfect.
