Shotgun Wedding - Hardcover

by Charlotte Lewis (Author)

Carrie Johnson met Glenn Bettel the morning she took her new car in for minor maintenance. He was a divorced man with two children and a very vindictive ex-wife. Carrie knew about the divorce and the children. She had no idea about the ex. Nothing she could have thought would come close to the nasty and downright mean things the ex did over the next year - starting before Carrie moved in with Glenn. Carrie learned that Glenn had married immediately after high school; not actually a shotgun wedding but it was 1964. Carrie lived with Glenn a year before she began having medical problems. Doctor said menopause even though she was only 35. Glenn dismissed that and believed he was headed toward another shotgun wedding. No mention of marriage was made and his anger was unwarranted. When a surprise verdict in Family Court was made a month later, Carrie moved from his home, from his life. It would be years before he learned the rest of the story.
