From the Publisher:

"There is nothing more titillating than reading somebody else's private diary." -- The Washington Post.

A woman who decides to tell the truth about herself and her marriage may be making the biggest mistake of her life. Joanna Scott kept a daily journal. It began when she first met David and fell crazily in love with him. From the beginning, the passion was there. . . and so were the problems. Nearly twenty-five years later, David thought he knew his wife very, very well. Until the day he decided to read her journal and discovered a woman with secrets. . .a woman he's losing. . .and only now does he discover why.

"An unabashedly honest revelation of a marriage, as rich and marvelous as life it self." -- Jacqueline Briskin, author of Dreams Are Not Enough
