The Beginning of the End

A memoir about a broken relationship, addiction, and human frailty

De: Tara Blair Ball

Tara Blair Ball thought she had it all: a handsome husband, beautiful infant twins, and a great house in the suburbs. But then came a discovery that worked just like a grenade lofted into the middle of her superficially serene life: her husband had been secretly abusing drugs for years, he had a secret card, and he'd embezzled from his job. After trying to work things out and having two devastating miscarriages, she'd then commit her own great betrayal: having an affair. Told with suspense, humor, and unflinching honesty, The Beginning of the End captures the agonies and joys of one imperfect woman, trying the best she can in unspeakable circumstances.

A cautionary tale that never rises above itself

Gets tiring when someone ignores some pretty obvious red flags in a severely co-dependent relationship. But I'm sure the kids won't mind parents throwing things, stepping on dogs and make up sex.
