The Good Wife
Three years ago, Sarah Walker caught her major-league baseball playing husband, Boone, cheating on her with a fan. Boone immediately broke things off with the woman and swore that it was the first and last time he would be unfaithful. Ever since then, Boone has been a model husband, but Sarah can’t help but be plagued by doubts. The more she wants to trust Boone, the more she finds herself wondering who he’s spending time with while on the road. Already struggling with the death of her mother, the last thing Sarah needs is to be obsessing about her marriage. She knows she must either learn to trust her husband once and for all or say goodbye forever. Porter’s latest installment in the Brennan Sisters series (The Good Woman, 2012; The Good Daughter, 2013) packs a powerful emotional wallop. Readers will find that all their tears are worth it once they reach the conclusion of this insightful, brutally honest tale of a marriage torn apart by guilt and suspicion yet still, possibly, redeemable with forgiveness and love. --John Charles
