About the Book

James Dorset didn’t know his wife, Ann, had been an abused child, but he did know his marriage wasn’t what he expected a marriage to be, based on his parent’s marriage. Jim remembered the love and harmony of his childhood that existed until his mother died. His father’s sister Pat and her husband Harold raised Jim with their son Donald, who was only five days older. Some thought the boys were twins, for they seemed inseparable and got along so well. Their closeness infuriated Ann. She had become jealous, critical, unsocial and controlling. Jim’s new position as a member of a corporation created by his father and Don, along with the need to move the family to the city, affected Ann’s mental stability. A psychiatrist and friends, assist Jim to solve major problems.
