The
First Year, by Crystal Liechty
Cedar
Fort, October 2006
LDS
Fiction; Humor
Beth is happily
married…she thinks. No, she’s sure. Pretty much.
Barely into her first year
of marriage, Beth is still getting used to the transition. Her husband Mike is
everything she could ask for and she has no regrets. At least until her
ex-boyfriend Charlie returns from the Marines, begging for a second chance and
calling into question every decision she’s made since their painful break-up.
Despite her steady
refusals, Beth begins to wonder if Charlie’s right. Did she only marry Mike to
hide from Charlie?
When she catches Mike in a
trust-shattering lie, Beth is suddenly faced with two men who betrayed her.
Which betrayal is worse? And which man deserves a second chance?
