Imagine thinking you have the perfect life,
husband, and children, and then one day learning your whole life was a lie.
This is just what happened to Claire Massey in A Woman for Fortune by Kellie
Coates Gilbert. While attending a fancy fundraiser for their soon to be son-in-law,
Tuck Massey is arrested, while his wife Claire is left to try and salvage the
life they created together. Tuck soon pled guilty to fraud. He stole millions
from their friends, family, and church. Claire must struggle with overcoming
his deception and trying to hold their family together.
I really liked this book, and the characters were
more interesting to me than I thought they would be. Sometimes when you read
books about people who have everything, and then lose it, they tend to be not
very likable. This is not at all the fact with Claire Massey. She realizes she
had a very privileged life, and she is willing to work to do whatever it takes
to be self-sufficient while her husband is in prison. I won’t give away the
ending, but Claire really struggled with whether she should stay with her
husband or not. I think this seemed like a really real emotion, as I would
struggle with the same thing if I found out someone I thought I knew was lying
to me for a large part of our relationship.
This was a great book, and I look forward to
reading more in the Texas Gold Novel series.
