Perfection

"Heart-wrenching but triumphant."<br>--<em>Glamour</em><p>"A lyrical, haunting, and utterly gripping memoir."<br>--<em>Redbook</em><p>"A dark, evocative memoir from a woman forced to come to terms with her husband's death and the revelation of his infidelity."<br>--<em>Shelf Awareness</em><p>"A fascinating memoir."<br>--<em>People</em><p>"A delectable summer read."<br>--<em>USA Today</em><p>"She brings refreshing candor to a startling, painful tale."<br>--<em>New York Times</em><p>"A riveting memoir."<br>--<em>Real Simple</em><p>"...lyrical, moving prose."<br>--<em>Working Mother</em><p>"Metz's <em>Perfection</em> chronicles with lapidary precision one woman's climb back to happiness after not just a spouse's death, but also the shocking recognition that her life before that death was not what she had thought it was. The journey is a painful one, but Ms. Metz is much the stronger for having survived to recount it."<br>--Julie Powell, author of <em>Julie & Julia</em><p>"Julie Metz's memoir of how her marriage unraveled after her mate's death is piercingly honest, haunting, and heartbreaking. Anyone who has ever been in a bad relationship will over-identify."<br>--Susan Shapiro, author of <em>Five Men Who Broke My Heart</em> and <em>Lighting Up</em><p>"It is impossible to put <em>Perfection</em> down as we follow Julie Metz through her true story of love, lies, loss, and moving forward. Her raw and brave writing makes you want to cheer Metz on as she pieces her life back together, one beautiful sentence at a time."<br>--Marian Fontana, author of <em>A Widow's Walk</em><p>"This aching memoir of love, loss, and deception is candid and compelling. I found myself rooting for Julie Metz in her search for a happy `second life.'"<br>--Hilma Wolitzer, author of <em>The Doctor's Daughter</em> and <em>Hearts</em><p>Julie Metz's life changes forever on one ordinary January afternoon when her husband, Henry, collapses on the kitchen floor and dies in her arms. Suddenly, this mother of a six-year-old is the young widow in a bucolic small town. And this is only the beginning. Seven months after Henry's death, just when Julie thinks she is emerging from the worst of it, comes the rest of it: She discovers that what had appeared to be the reality of her marriage was but a half-truth. Henry had hidden another life from her.<p>"He loved you so much." That's what everyone keeps telling her. It's true that he loved Julie and their six-year-old daughter ebulliently and devotedly, but as she starts to pick up the pieces and rebuild her life without Henry in it, she learns that Henry had been unfaithful throughout their twelve years of marriage. The most damaging affair was ongoing--a tumultuous relationship that ended only with Henry's death. For Julie, the only thing to do was to get at the real truth--to strip away the veneer of "perfection" that was her life and confront each of the women beneath the veneer.<p><em>Perfection</em> is the story of Julie Metz's journey through chaos and transformation as she creates a different life for herself and her young daughter. It is the story of coming to terms with painful truths, of rebuilding both a life and an identity after betrayal and widowhood. It is a story of rebirth and happiness--if not perfection.
