Publisher's Synopsis
How many married people realize only after a number of years have gone by that their "partner for life" is to them what the albatross around his neck was to the Ancient Mariner? According to divorce statistics, the answer is simple: too many. Those we least suspect may often be the most probable candidates for a break-up. Living outwardly normal lives, partying with friends, attending the local PTA meetings together, hosting backyard neighborhood barbecues, their inner lives a sham. Initially refusing to admit their marriages are a mistake, or simply too tired to go through life on their own, they often find their solace in alcohol or in back-street love affairs which leave all parties concerned the worse off. WHORE WIFE is the story of Linda Carney, a young woman who discovers her marriage is full of abuse and disappointment, cause for a drastic and sometimes degrading course of action. Her story, sadly, is a backdrop for too many in today's society.
