When Benjamin Richardson proposed to Madeline Ferguson on a Thursday night 21 years ago, he never expected - in his wildest dreams - that the benign woman he loved could turn out to be a transcendingly cold-blooded tyrant. He could not love her the way he used to: to him, she was nothing but an alcoholic, a drug abuser and a complete stranger. But, Stuart chose to keep his marriage for the sake of his son - his only treasure in the world. Told with measures of heartbreak and love, this subsquently narrative (in the voices of Benjamin, Stuart and Madeline) tale tells the story of strong family bondage in a world fueled by dishonesty, hatred and personal sufferings.
