Infidelity! It hits your life so violently that it's easy to get lost in the explosive feelings that follow. How do you get through the shock, anger, fear, and hopelessness inherent in such a crisis?

Inspirational in its candidness, this story of loss and renewal will touch your heart, make you laugh, and offer help and hope to face the challenges of relationship, betrayal, self-doubt and forgiveness on your way to once again opening your heart to love. It's raw, it's real... it's true.
