About the book: 2001 / They were considered the happiest couple in Washington - media tycoon Jack Hunter and his wife Maddie, who made a brilliant career on television. They didn't even seem like a family - THE IDEAL OF A FAMILY. They were admired. They were envied. But... Who knows what dark, shameful, painful secrets are hidden behind the facade of the “ideal family”? Who can say what a woman who is trying with all her might to “save face” can endure? One day, even the longest patience comes to an end. And who can predict how the life of a woman who decides to break with the past and start over will turn out??
