Publisher's Notes
Sally Lowe Whitehead offers the riveting tale of her lifelong search for a spiritual home--and her discovery of a secret that broke and remade her family, her life, and her vision of faith. Sally Lowe Whitehead and her husband were spiritual seekers, Cradle Catholic and cradle Episcopalian, they became born-again southern Baptists, joined home churches and repressive religious sects--all in a restless search for a faith that felt real, a God that seemed true. But after 21 years of marriage, after the birth of six sons, and in the midst of their journey into Christian fundamentalism, Whitehead learned a shocking truth: Michael, her husband, was gay. "The Truth Shall Set You Free" is Whitehead's fascinating chronicle of her struggle to accept the truth about her husband--and to free herself from fundamentalism and embrace a joyous new vision of God and family. In this honest and lucid memoir, Whitehead tells the story of her marriage, her husband's secret life, their roving quest after God--and the unexpected truths of acceptance, forgiveness, and love that they discovered at that quest's end.

Infidelity
by Ann Pearlman
It is estimated that an alarming four out of five married couples experience infidelity. Growing up with a mother and grandmother who painfully accepted the existence of their respective husbands’ mistresses, Ann Pearlman set out to beat the odds. She embarked on a career as a therapist who helped hundreds of unhappily married patients build new lives. She also found a husband with whom she felt secure. But after thirty years of rewarding marriage and parenthood, she discovered that her husband was having an affair with one of his art students. Infidelity is the moving account of her shattered trust, and the women in her family who endured similar wounds in the radically different climate of America before 1960. Written in precisely drawn, vivid scenes, Infidelity traces Pearlman’s first understanding of unfaithfulness through her father. A gifted and intelligent man, he took the time to explain Freud’s theories to her during dinner, a meal often served late because of his after-work trysts. Falling in love with Ty, an African American football player and artist, she basked in a strong marriage that even shrugged off interracial bias and inspired her to write a book on how to foster vitality in a marriage. Yet as her own unraveled, she arrived at a turning point that would test everything she had taught and believed. Compelling reading for men and women alike, Infidelity is an eye-opening testament to commitments made and broken, and the experience of matrimony across three very different yet strikingly connected lifetimes.

Chasing The Devil
by Sheriff David Reichert
The riveting personal account of one sheriffs epic hunt for Americas most heinous serial killer. For eight years, Sheriff David Reichert devoted days and nights to capturing the Green River Killer--the most notorious serial killer in American history. He was the first detective on the case in 1982 and doggedly pursued it as the body count climbed to 49 and it became the most infamous unsolved case in the nation. Frantically following all leads, even as more bodies surfaced near the river outside Seattle, Sheriff Reichert befriended the victims families, publicly challenged the killer, and risked his own safety--and the endurance and love of his family--before he found his madman. But Reicherts hunt didnt end when he finally cornered a truck painter named Gary Ridgway. It would be yet another 11 haunting years before forensic science could prove Ridgways guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt. CHASING THE DEVIL is the gripping firsthand account of Reicherts relentless pursuit--a 21-year odyssey full of near-misses and startling revelations. Told in vivid detail by the man who knows the whole story--the man who has stared into the eyes of absolute evil--this is a page-turning real-life suspense story of unparalleled heroism.
