The Good Husband

Everyone thinks Christopher Giordano is a good husband. Stephanie does too.

For twenty years, Stephanie Giordano has built a life with Chris: a beautiful New Orleans home, a sixteen-year-old daughter they adore, and a marriage other people envy. Chris is successful, generous, devoted to his family—the kind of man who remembers what people need and shows up before they have to ask.

He also answers for Stephanie.

Makes decisions for her.

Keeps explaining until she gives in.

Stephanie has spent years telling herself those things are love.

Then her mother gives her $24,000 and tells her something Stephanie has never allowed herself to consider:

If you ever want to leave, you can.

Stephanie has no plans to leave Chris.

But when he discovers the money, twenty years of marriage collide with everything neither of them has been willing to name.

One argument changes their family forever.

And by the time Stephanie understands what has happened, the question is no longer whether she should have left her husband.

It’s whether she ever really knew him at all.

The Good Husband is an emotionally gripping novel about marriage, family, control, and the complicated truth of loving someone who may not be the person you believed him to be.
