Product Description
Sometimes we know shockingly little about the people we think we know best. And when it comes to marriage, there are things known, unknown, and known too late.A razor’s edge, gripping memoir from bestselling author and grief psychologist Jan Canty about her husband’s double life, his tragic homicide, and the dark days after, kept secret for 30 years.Inspector Gil Hill, head of the Detroit Homicide Division, was the first to explain Jan’s husband's indiscretions. Hill bluntly disclosed that Al had led a double life for the previous 18 months in the notorious Cass Corridor (a red-light district in the inner city) in Detroit, using the name "Dr. Miller."Jan thought she knew her husband, but Al was a master manipulator, easily dismissing her questions and concerns, all the while emptying their shared bank account to fuel his lifestyle. In the months that unfolded, Jan learned more truths about her unfaithful husband than during their ten-year marriage.After Al’s homicide, Jan’s life was utterly changed, filled with legitimate fear for her safety, confronted with awkward conversations, and haunted by an inability to shake her new label–until she simply had to move to a place where no one knew her story.A Life Divided shares Jan’s darkest days after the revelations—as a widow and so-called homicide survivor. It is raw, detailed, and deliberately subjective. It gives voice to "invisible" families in the shadows of gruesome homicides who know all too well that headlines, sound bites, formalities, and trials are just the prologue to the story.“A deep, dark true-crime memoir with gripping humanity and insights only a homicide-survivor can provide.” —Steve Miller, author Read more
