The story line is a
tumultuous saga of the devastation infidelity has on a marriage. The
characters are lifelike as Dickey explores the challenges of a modern career
oriented marriage and its struggles for normalcy.
Lives are no longer the same
when the other woman enters the picture and everyone’s life is changed
forever. Dickey answers the question of how two people can love each other
intensely and yet with one decision lose everything they have worked hard for.
The reader glimpses snap
shots of the scorned wife in a love scene with the other husband, and we also
see instant messages of lovers lost in a new found forbidden bliss. The reader
is spellbound as they see snap shots of a marriage that starts to unravel at
the seams until it is ripped wide open.
One of the most fascinating
features of the book is that Eric Jerome Dickey sparingly reveals the name of
the main character as
"Freckles".
Without formally naming the main character, Dickey allows the reader to
identify emotionally with the main character. What a roller coaster ride of a
read that will keep readers on the edge of their seat.
The characters and their
riveting story will resonate with readers for a long time.
