In a straightforward and nonjudgmental way, this book concentrates on the human aspects of betrayal, addressing such questions as: How and why do affairs begin? How do they develop? How can you end an affair and recover from its effect? Who gains from infidelity? Who loses? Most important, it shows the route from its effects? Who gains healing. It also explores the impact of infidelity on children and extended family members, as well as friends, acquaintances, and colleagues. This is not a book of moralizations or judgments, nor is it a book of rules. Rather, it is a book whose mission is to convey the reality of infidelity. It is a gamble and the odds of losing everything important to you are very real.
