When Christine Pechacek married her husband, Dan, at the age of eighteen, she was sure it would be her happily-ever-after. But what Christine didn't realize was that while she was devoting herself faithfully to her husband, and later to her children, Dan was living a second life--the life of a single man. Christine found her once-happy marriage had become a battleground of good and evil, right and wrong, trust and betrayal. But their issues were not without causes of their own--abandonment as a child for Dan and an abusive background for Christine--and no one wins when fighting a war against the past. Yet, today, more than forty years later, they remain a couple, unsure of what the future holds but facing it together. Is It Too Late To Get My Money Back? is a story of loyalty pitted against betrayal, and forgiveness giving way to redemption. For anyone who has experienced the agony of adultery, Christine Pechacek shows that there is a future for the most fractured of relationships. In this remarkable memoir of personal strength, redemption seeps through as the ultimate effect of forgiveness.
