5.0 out of 5 starsI love this book
By A. Bauer on September 2, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Full disclosure: I read an advance copy of this novel. And I offered a review even before it was published, because I think it's just that damn good. We've all seen (or been in) those marriages where one spouse's irresponsible actions keep sabotaging the whole arrangement. We've watched as the other spouse covers...equivocates....outright LIES to keep the world from knowing. And we know it's all headed for tragedy of the most common but heartbreaking kind. Randy Susan Meyers captures so much of this real lived life in Accidents of Marriage, a novel about rage, dishonesty and complicity — about the effect it has on a marriage and on the children who suffer collateral damage every day. This novel isn't easy to read — the truth rarely is. But it's so worth it. Full of insights and warmth and love for characters who are deeply flawed. Once again, Randy Susan Meyers has disclosed a dark but important story about life.

5.0 out of 5 starsI yearn for a happy ending.
By PattyLouise VINE VOICE on September 3, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
Accidents Of Marriage
by
Randy Susan Myers

My " in a nutshell" summary...

Maddy and Ben are in a car accident. Maddy is seriously injured. This book is the story of their past life and how they are dealing with their new life....

My thoughts after reading this book...

Sometimes when I read a book with intense family drama...I yearn for a happy ending...in this case...I wanted Maddy to have a happy ending...I could care less about her husband Ben!

Let me back track. Maddy and Ben live a busy life...she is a social worker...he is an attorney...they have three children...Emma, Gracie, and Caleb...Emma is fourteen and the oldest. Maddy's life with Ben has been one where she soothes. He doesn't hit but he is always mad. He throws things. He punches countertops...his ego is huge! Ben is incredibly unpredictable with his emotions. Maddy never knows what will set him off...and what infuriates him one day won't even bother him another day. So...she is tense all of the time...and has stashes of pills hidden around the house to help her take the edge off. Ben is not the husband of my dreams...that's for sure. He doesn't care if Maddy is stranded or the kids either...he mostly just thinks about himself.

The turning point in this book is when Ben reluctantly agrees to help Maddy and rain, his ego and road rage cause a horrific accident...Maddy is the only one seriously hurt...brain injured...coma...devastation. Ben doesn't really want anyone to know that he is the reason for her injuries. He is devastated...of course...but not really changed.

What I loved about this book...

As sad as she was...I loved Emma. She was fourteen and just wanted her life back.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAnger in Marriage
By Book Addict on September 14, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I just finished it. Wow. Relationships can be difficult and have to be worked on. I remember having to walk on eggshells in one of my marriages as I never knew how something I said would be taken by him when he came in the door. No one should have to live like that. Oh and traumatic brain injury I don't know anything about it but seemed very well researched. This was very well written. The author made me care about the characters, Maddy, Ben the three children, Emma, Gracie and Caleb. This was amazing and I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 starsLoved this book!
By webshred on September 2, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Maddy Illica’s husband Ben shouts and throw things, but he’s not dangerous, not like the husbands of the battered women she counsels. Or so she thinks. Then one day he does more damage to her and their family than she could ever imagine. A riveting story of the lies and secrets that drive emotionally abusive relationships, ACCIDENTS OF MARRIAGE goes deep into the psyches of abused, abuser and their children. From the closed, self-centered loop of Ben's narcissistic mind to the fearful walls of denial Maddy constructs to avoid admitting what she already knows--that he's untrustworthy and dangerous--Randy Susan Meyers captures it all. But perhaps the most moving sections are those from the point-of-view of Maddy and Ben's 14-year old daughter, Emma. You will not find a more accurate or heart-rending picture of an adolescent trying to navigate the terrible chaos her parents have created. A tense, moving and ultimately uplifting novel that will stay with you long after you've read the last page.

5.0 out of 5 starsA look at the hidden parts
By KrisVT on September 2, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Ms. Meyers has a unique gift of looking under the covers of human relationships and finding the scary, hidden monsters. In her third novel we get to see a marriage that looks almost perfect to the outside world. Attractive family, good jobs, nice house in a prestigious neighborhood..the whole package. But Ben and Maddy's marriage is ruled by Ben's rage which comes often and with little warning. When his anger and entitlement cause an accident in which Maddy is critically injured, all of their lives screech to a halt as he tries to find a way to assuage his guilt, while their three children fall apart without their mother and while Maddy fights to live. Told from 3 perspectives (Ben; Maddy and oldest daughter,Emma) we get to see exactly where the strengths and weaknesses of this troubled relationship are.I thought Emma's perspective was really intriguing; a girl just a few years away from being a child; left to be the mom to her younger siblings; living with her own anger and her belief that her father caused the accident. Meyers depiction of Maddy slowly recovering from a traumatic brain injury is tender and powerful - you can tell that this particular injury was researched flawlessly.
Meyer's intensive work as a counselor in a court ordered program for men who abuse their partners gives a harsh and ,at times, humane, look at how far the ripples of abuse spread.
