Premature illness of one?s spouse comes not as a trial of weakness or strength but as the acid test of both love and character.
Too often do caregivers fester in resentment. Too often do icons of society abandon a spouse, run, and rationalize.
And too often is this hardship flavored with infidelity, leaving the injured spouse in an abyss of helplessness.
And yet this very hardship could bring unforeseen emotional fulfillment to both partners in a relationship.
When the dust settles, what happens to the victims left to suffer, and to the burdened spouses who either walk away or remain?
For these predicaments as for so many other profound problems, debates continue by water coolers at work, around the table in our homes, through our heroes in the media, and of course between the pages of cozy novels.
The novel, Infidelity?s Fool, lets the reader live vicariously these convoluted realities of illness and infidelity that bully their way into so many lives.
