Overview
Divorce is difficult under the best of circumstances, but when Cameron divorces his wife of thirty years to marry a younger woman, a series of events is set in motion that no one could have foreseen. Maggie must learn to live without her husband. Jessica, the new wife, finally lives the lifestyle she has always coveted, but finds that money does not always ensure smooth sailing, especially when incurring the disdain of Maggie's friends. Cameron realizes that while the grass may be greener on the other side of the fence, there is more to life than grass. The story of the Mabry triangle ends in tragedy . . . a tragedy that cannot be explained . . . an unsolved mystery. But the conflict extends to the next generation, and even there it ends in tragedy and unsolved mystery. Yet, there are redeeming outcomes and hope is best personified in a child. This story is strictly fictional, but it is inspired by an incident which occurred almost forty years ago. That incident is described in the epilogue.
Description
Just when life is at its rosiest, Maggie’s world falls apart. Divorce, unforeseen and devastating, not only divides families, but polarizes much of the town called Sandy Cove. God have mercy on anyone who steps between two strong-willed women battling for the affection (and money) of the same handsome, charismatic, philandering man! Never mind that he’s pushing sixty; he’s “wickedly wealthy!” Divorce papers arrive; settlement disputes abound; a second marriage takes place; a baby is born; people die; and the “war of the wives” continues to rage. Questions are left unanswered, and mysteries remain unsolved. Somebody knows, but no one is telling. (This is a fictional story inspired by an actual, decades-old, unsolved mystery . . . the disappearance of The Flying Dutchman. Details of the real story are revealed in the epilogue.)
