The Husband's Secret

Cecilia Fitzpatrick is a woman that has it all: a handsome and loving husband, kids that are well adjusted and love their folks, and she has a good standing in the community. One day she goes to the attic to fetch something for her daughter and comes across an envelope. On it is her husband's writing requesting that she read the contents of the letter only after his death.  She resists her urge to read it and respects his wishes until she observes some uncharacteristic behavior from him which prompts her to open the letter soon after she finds it. The contents of the letter are shocking to her and her knowing the information sets her and her and her family's life on a different course. Though it was a good read I think I had higher expectations for this one, but the ending did leave me thinking what kind of life Cecilia (and others affected by the contents of the letter) might have had if she never read the letter.
