Rebirth after the fall

Laura and her husband are struggling to support themselves. With determination and tenacity, Laura encourages Joseph to take a job that is far below his qualifications. Managing their modest income sparingly, Laura worked for years to keep her family out of trouble. Then one day it all changes. Everything Laura had taken years to build collapses. Joseph fell in love with another woman and went so far as to move Liliane into the marital home. Then, began years of humiliation for Laura at the hands of her husband and even her family-in-law, who took up the cause of Joseph's new lover. Laura decides to take control of her life: while her husband and the 'Intruder' are having the time of their lives right under her nose, Laura works desperately hard to get her diplomas and complete her training seeking for revenge. However, fate has other plans. When Joseph is at his worst, far from wanting to deal him the final blow, Laura comes to his rescue and Joseph ends up being forgiven in the most touching of ways. Through these writings, the author paints an uncompromising portrait of a husband who, having forgotten the sacrifices made by his wife, ended up losing himself. She also takes a particular look at those families-in-law who succumb to greed and covetousness at the expense of loyalty and fidelity. Finally, in this painful and richly instructive story, MEN makes us realise the power of forgiveness... and encourages us to forgive in order to move forward. Traducted from the original French book titled: “Au fond de l’abîme.”.
