After a shocking disclosure from her son, it comes out that Christi's husband, John has been paying strangers for sex for years. Desperate for answers, she becomes obsessed with this world of secrets and selfish indulgence. Not helping matters was John's unrelenting dishonesty and unwillingness to accept responsibility for the immense damage he caused the entire family, all the while reducing his cheating to being just a business transaction.
Some very strange coincidences come into play and her world becomes profoundly dark. In her pursuit to climb out of her despair, Christi realizes she is much more resilient than she ever knew, and subsequently becomes surprisingly grateful to have lived through the entire experience. Something beautiful was waiting for her on the other side of her own brutal storm.
Christi takes you down her trail of discovery, the harmful consequences of anger during the aftermath, her eventual compassion for sex workers, and surviving the ultimate ending of her marriage. This honest memoir is one of regret, reflection, and healing. Her hope is that it will help others dealing with this brand of trauma.
