NATIONAL BESTSELLER ⢠Kathleen Buhle shares her story of resilience and self-discovery after her marriage to Hunter Biden unraveled in the wake of substance abuse and infidelity in this âdignified and revealingâ (People) memoir.
âKathleen Buhleâs brave and honest story transcends politics, division, hearsay, and judgment.ââConnie Britton
This is not a story about good versus evil. Or who was right. Or who was better. For decades, Kathleen Buhle chose to play the role of the good wife, beginning when, as a naïve young woman from a working-class family on the South Side of Chicago, she met the dashing son of a senator at the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Oregon. Within months of falling in love, Kathleen found herself pregnant and engaged, living a life beyond anything sheâd ever known.
Â
Determined to build her family on a foundation of love, Kathleen was convinced her and Hunterâs commitment to each other could overcome any obstacle. But when Hunterâs drinking evolved into dependency, she was forced to learn how rapidly and irrevocably a marriage can fall apart under the merciless power of addiction. When the lies became insurmountable, Kathleen was forced to reckon with the compromises she had made to try to save her marriage. She wondered if she could survive on her own.
Â
The result is a memoir that is page-turning and heart-breaking. Here Kathleen asks why she kept so much hiddenâfrom her daughters and herselfâfor so many years, why she became dependent on one man, and why she was more faithful to a vow of secrecy than to her own truth. This inspiring chronicle of radical honesty and self-actualization speaks to women who have lost part of their identity and want to reclaim it.
