In this memoir, Ann Pearlman recalls the devastating effects of her father's marital betrayal and her experiences of the pain, wisdom and female strength that was the legacy of both her father's and grandfather's adultery. Ann determined that her own marriage would be faithful and forever. In the 1960s, Ann fell in love with Ty, an African-American professional football player and artist. They spent over 25 years together, forging careers and raising children. As a psychotherapist, Ann also wrote a book on the joys of sexual monogamy. As the century drew to a close, Ann discovered her husband's affair, again forcing her to visit infidelity. The wheel had come full circle.
