Book Cover & Preview Text
Jack, Becky and four kids trekked their way across America. She remembers clearly that it was as though they were running fast to escape from something, and so they were. Problem was, what they were trying to run from was sitting right there in the front seat of that car, going everywhere they went.
Here are two people who had just turned their backs and walked away from everything money could buy, two people deeply in love and absolutely committed to one another and to their children, but living in misery.
Jack’s drinking got worse and worse and the fights escalated. Jack’s anger turned to rage often, but Becky knew that even though he might sometimes lose his temper, he would never touch her in anger.
And again she would say,
“He adored me and I adored him.”
“He was a very handsome man. One time we had gone out to eat and he was in front of me so these women there didn’t see me behind him. He looked at me and winked real big and they were flirting and stuff and I just walked right up and took his arm and you should have seen them. Yes, he was very handsome.”
Mom always told us kids that handsome is as handsome does, and this handsome man was about to make a real bad mistake.
