Quote:
Her Second Husband is a love story. It is historical fiction. It is a mystery.
Our story begins in 1985 with the death of Samantha Carter Blake's husband and the reappearance of her first love, Harrison Winslow.
We return to Samantha's and Harrison's high school days in the late fifties. After a touching coming-of-age moment following his graduation in 1959, life sets the two on different paths. Samantha overcomes her adoptive birth family's dysfunction and establishes a conventional, secure life as a businesswoman, wife, and mother.
Harrison's journey is different. He matures during his tour of duty in Vietnam and emerges a young man with a quest for knowledge. The wounded combat veteran develops a love of literature and history. He earns his doctorate.
Harrison and Samantha reconnect in Dallas, and a year later, their relationship blossoms. They navigate the bumpy terrain of a mid-life relationship. At the same time, Harrison vows to discover who killed his remote and emotionally distant father, Albert Francis Winslow.
Their bond develops while Harrison's quest takes him to early Twentieth-Century Ireland, the First-Century Christian world, mid-1800s Boston, and Chicago in the 1980s. He ventures into a dark corner in history, Gnosticism, and a sinister secret society. Harrison discovers his father's death is tied to the assassination of three Twentieth-Century political leaders.
With the help of a Catholic priest, Joe Simmons, Harrison unravels the mystery of his father's murder and comes to a surprising conclusion about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
