Behind any great man, there’s always a greater woman – and you’re about to meet her. Joan Castleman, a highly intelligent and still-striking beauty – the perfect devoted wife. She has spent forty years spent sacrificing her own talent, dreams and ambitions to fan the flames of her charismatic husband Joe and his skyrocketing literary career.

Their fateful pact has built a marriage upon uneven compromises and Joan has reached her breaking point. On the eve of Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature, the crown jewel in a spectacular body of work, Joan’s coup de grace is to confront the biggest sacrifice of her life and the secret of his career success.
