Shelf Life of a Trophy Wife is an awe-inspiring epic tale of a Southern Baptist Barbie that makes Greek mythology seem like child’s play—its the perfect book for any woman who’s ever had to keep a secret.

There is a picture of Jennifer and me when she was five and I was three.

It brings me sadness since it was taken before, I was molested at the age of four.

And she was as well, or so it seems.

So we coped in our nightmares when allowed to dream.

And I think to myself, who would we have turned out to be, if we weren’t molested after five and three?

It makes me wonder-would you have taken your life?

Would I have become a Trophy Wife?

Would you still be here, could we all grow old?

What would have been different, if only we had told?
