From whirlwind romance to gaslighting campaign: this is truth far
stranger than fiction.
When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who'd given up
trying to find Mr Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and
attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and
when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic.
Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will's work often took him
away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him
emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even
selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their
children. Together, they took on the world.
And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as 'the
other Mrs Jordan'...
In this raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson
recounts what happened after she discovered every word he'd said, from
the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful, humiliating
truth--but she tells it for one reason: she too was once a strong,
independent woman who would have read all this and thought It could
never happen to me...
