Book summary

In her own words, Dina Matos McGreevey, the former wife of the former governor of New Jersey, Jim McGreevey, tells what it was like to live in the spotlight: when things were good and they were an ideal couple, committed to each other and their values; and when everything fell apart, especially their marriage, after Governor McGreevey, in a resignation speech following a political scandal, revealed to the world that he was "a gay American." Dina stood stoically silent at his side then, but in SILENT PARTNER she reveals the details of their life together, and her personal response to the revelation that their marriage was based on a broken trust. Candidly critical at times, but without recrimination, Dina Matos McGreevey tells a tale that other women have experienced, though not so publicly.
