Book Description

Publication Date: April 1995

This is the personal story of one woman's horror and recovery. From outward appearances they were the perfect couple: well-educated, married for fifteen years, raising a beautiful son, and looking forward to careers that were going nowhere but up. And then came the call that Wiklund's husband had been arrested for child molestation.

Loretta G. Breuning (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sleeping With a Stranger: How I Survived a Marriage to a Child Molester (Paperback)

How could the wife not know? You can't help thinking that, but this account makes it absolutely clear. Not all criminals are bumbling-- this perpetrator was frighteningly methodical.
The wife has one pain heaped on top of another: people's assumptions of her complicity; legal liability because her husband is also her partner in a family counseling practice; an adolescent son who needs protection; and the financial shock of a career in ruins. All this in addition to the loss of her marriage and her true compassion for the victims. What does she do?
Dr. Wiklund brings her psychology training to her own "case," using all of her skills to research and treat the colossal problems of perpetrators' wives. This is fascinating reading because it blends two types of books-- a shocking crime tale that's absolutlely true, and a clear guide to picking yourself up and recovering from tragedy told honestly by a professional.
