Finished: The Love of My Life (Walsh) A very good book about a couple whose blissful marriage almost implodes when a secret she has kept since she was nineteen comes to light. Emma is a marine scientist who would love nothing more than to find the new species of crab. Her husband, Leo, is an obituary writer for a prestigious newspaper. They've been happily married for five years and have a three year old daughter, Ruby, who is the light of their world. Emma has just finished chemo for breast cancer and they nervously await her latest scan results. They are both very aware of how fragile life can be. As obituary writers often do for aging stars (apparently), Leo decides to start getting all his facts straight about Emma's college years because he wants to write her the most beautiful obituary he can if it becomes necessary. In digging through some old papers, he starts to find facts that are completely inconsistent with what he has always known about Emma's college and career. He wonders why she would have ever felt the need to lie to him. He's already feeling a bit upset about it when they finally go for the doctor appointment. It's good news! There is no more sign of Emma's cancer. Leo and Emma can celebrate, but the lies keep pestering him. When Leo comes across a journal entry of Emma's that says "You're the father of my child", he flips out. Is she saying that Ruby is not his?? Then, when he realizes the man is someone he knows, he doubly flips out. But, the secret is much more complicated than he thinks. I don't want to give it away because it turns out to be a pretty good twist. You definitely root for Leo and Emma to stay together and repair their marriage by the end of the book. A good read! :-)
