A Novel of Lies, Blame, and the Woman Who Finally Stopped Believing BothBy Demi Rush
Length2h 21m
About this audiobook
She was told she was broken.
For six years, Diana Moore-Chen believed her husband. He had the money, the certainty, and the experts to prove it. She had fifty-four negative pregnancy tests and no reason to doubt the story she'd been given: she was the problem.
Then he threw her out with four suitcases and a dead car, and told her she had until morning.
The Perfect Wife is what happens after. The marriage ends, the lie is exposed, and Diana realizes the diagnosis she spent six years trying to cure was never hers to carry. As she rebuilds her career, her confidence, and her sense of her own worth, the man who blamed her quietly discovers the truth he refused to find.
A gripping blend of domestic drama and psychological suspense, perfect for readers of Big Little Lies and The Silent Patient.
If you've ever been told a story about yourself that didn't feel true, and believed it anyway, Diana's journey is for you.
