Bobbi Molinsky?s comfortable life is shattered when a forwarded email from her husband?s account lands in her inbox. The email teases, ?My whole evening is free again.? After an angry confrontation with Chuck, she is left with the broken remains of an eighteen year marriage. Bobbi agrees forgiving Chuck is the right thing, the God-honoring thing to do, but it leaves her empty and isolated. Teaching her second-graders is a burden. Taking care of her boys saps all her energy. It seems God Himself has walked away, leaving her to struggle alone. Bobbi can?t deny the transformation in Chuck, but genuine forgiveness requires trust, and trust is a risk she?s not willing to take. Can she let go of her deepest, most primal fears and save her marriage? ? FROM AMAZON.COM

Contingency: Book One: Covenant of Trust Series, her debut novel, spent time on the Amazon.com Christian Fiction bestsellers list, and was also the #1 Hot New Release in Christian Fiction. Indemnity is her second novel. She enjoys small town life in Illinois with her husband, Jon, and three children.
FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS?I will admit, this took me some time to read. Not because I didn?t like it. Course it?s very hard to like the topic of infidelity. It took me some time, because this book reached inside of me the place and time I?d rather not go back to (and ironically, during the ?anniversary month?). Wiseman, did an excellent job in portraying how marital affairs can hurt AND bring a family back together through their faith in God. I could connect with each of the characters even those outside of the immediate family. I was there. I felt each emotion that Wiseman portrayed for each of her characters involved.
For those who?ve dealt with infidelity and even those not touched by the pain, this is a great book to read. It?s yet another reminder (no matter how uncomfortable) of how precious marriages are, the reasons we take our vows, and the reminder of what could happen when we lose focus on God and each other.
I very much look forward to reading the second in the series when we watch how this couple gets through when the ?other woman ? comes back into the picture.
