Chapter 1: Define ‘Truth’
Early that Tuesday morning, Harvey looked out of the kitchen window and asked, Why’s the horse trailer hooked up to your Expedition?
My husband never notices things like that—and especially not when he’s rushing off to work over an hour away in D.C. What made him break out of the mold today, of all days?
