The Bigamist

Summary

From whirlwind romance to gaslighting campaign: This is truth far stranger than fiction. When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who’d given up trying to find Mr. Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month, it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will’s work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world. And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as "the other Mrs. Jordan".... In this raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson recounts what happened after she discovered every word he’d said, from the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful, humiliating truth — but she tells it for one reason: She too was once a strong, independent woman who would have listened to all this and thought, "It could never happen to me...." Revised edition: Previously published as The Bigamist: The True Story of a Husband's Ultimate Betrayal, this edition of The Bigamist includes editorial revisions.
