A memoir about the sudden, unexplained end of a twenty-year marriage. In early 2020, Belle Burden's husband abruptly announced he was leaving, with no prior warning or discussion. Burden revisits their life together searching for clues she may have missed, while reckoning with her own family history and societal expectations of how women should respond to betrayal.
