Sheridan's husband wanted to stop living a lie, but how was she going to live her life knowing the truth?
"There's no other way to say this. I'm in love with someone else." With these words, Sheridan Hart's life as she knows it comes to a crashing halt. She thought she was living every woman's dream: for the past seventeen years of marriage, Quentin had been a model husband, father, and business partner. But for all those years, he'd been hiding a secret from her. In fact, he had kept his secret from everyone. His startling confession is a lifelong attraction to men, and he is leaving her to be with his lover.
While coming to grips with the destruction of her marriage, Sheridan must also deal with the emotional reactions of her sixteen-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter. When word gets out about Quentin, everybody has something to say -- her family, her friends, and her church community all have advice to give and judgment to dole out. But at the end of the day, Sheridan must lean on her faith and her heart to decide what's best for her family.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A POWERFUL AND SPELLBINDING TALE ABOUT A WOMAN WHO DISCOVERS THE DEVASTATING TRUTH ABOUT HER HUSBAND'S BISEXUALITY A happily married wife and mother must cope with the shattering reality of her husband's bisexuality in this poignant and provocative new novel. For 17 years, Sheridan Hart has shared a nearly perfect marriage to Quentin, her lover, business partner and father of their two young children. But when Quentin delivers a stunning confession that he is in love with someone else, Sheridan wonders how she will cope with the fallout. However, Quentin isn't talking about a run-of-the-mill affair - the object of his desire is a man. The struggle to redefine their lives takes the Harts on a journey that proves a rocky one, as they must cope with the reactions of their son and daughter as well as their own parents. In GROWN FOLKS BUSINESS, Essence bestselling author Victoria Christopher Murray once again reveals how forgiveness, faith and renewed trust are just a few of the valuable lessons life can teach. A perfect family finds its perfect life in turmoil when husband and father reveals that he has slowly been falling in love with someone else and that someone else is a man.
