Foreword
How many married people realize only after a number of years have gone by that their partner for life is to them what the albatross was to the Ancient Mariner? The divorce statistics answers: too many.
Those we least suspect are often ripest for a break-up. Living outwardly normal lives, attending the local PTA meeting together. Hosting backyard neighborhood barbecues, their inner lives are a sham. Initially refusing to admit a mistake and correct it, they simply go through life on their own, often finding solace in the bottle or back street love affairs.
For Gloria, the young wife in this story, solace comes in an entirely unexpected form. Perverse and taboo, yes, but it is a solution.
LOVING STEPMOTHER -- the story of a woman whose shaky marriage is subject to relentless pressures brought on by the illicit adventure she finds while her husband is on business trips. A story which provides a backdrop for many in today's society.
