The Stranger I Came to Love

Sadly, what people see is Nora's fa ade; not Marc's pain. What has been a twenty-five-year prison sentence for Marc, is about to end.

Breaking free of his wife's hold is not easy though, and Marc senses that his life will be in danger if he attempts to divorce her. Since leaving their home, he feels his life spinning out of control. He is having recurring blackouts and people close to him are being brutally beaten. Marc cannot account for his time during these attacks and he becomes the prime suspect. A mysterious letter ignites Marc's subconscious. Memories of a past life filled with murder, pain, and sorrow surface. Paranoia begins to overwhelm him. Nora seems to be connected to a secret that has been buried inside Marc for a long time. When a stranger appears, someone familiar yet frightening, he begins to find the strength he never had-and Marc Richards begins to take control of his life.
