About Accidents of Marriage
• Paperback: 368 pages
• Publisher: Washington Square Press; Reprint edition (June 9, 2015)
For Madeline Illica, the love of her husband Ben was her greatest blessing and biggest curse. Brilliant and charming, Ben could turn into a raging bull when crossed—and despite her training as a social worker Maddy never knew what would cross him. When Ben was in a conciliatory mood, they worked on techniques for communication and anger management, but on the day of the accident, nothing seemed to help.
Accidents of Marriage holds readers from the first page to the last.
