The Scandal of Virginia Grey

Wendy Crane

Sam captured Virginia's attention in unforeseen ways. Each battling their own personal demons, they found common sanctuary in one another. However, from the soil of commonality, the seeds of Forbidden Love grew into unbridled betrayal. 
If asked the question, "Where do you see yourself in five years?", Virginia Grey most definitely would have NEVER answered "as the other woman in a scandalous marital affair." Never in a million years could she have envisioned her life's trajectory upon meeting 'not-so-happily-married' Sam Novak. 
Virginia thought she could escape the triggers of her past by moving from New York City to the small town of Hopeland, Tennessee. But the ghosts of past indiscretions followed her everywhere. 
In search of a fresh start in a new town, Virginia soon encountered one very unexpected friendship that would forever impact her life and set her on a path of redemption. 
A fiction novel based on true events, The Scandal of Virginia Grey is a tale of the other woman's journey through reconciling past transgressions, experiencing God's healing of the traumatic wounds of infidelity, and discovering the life-changing power of self-forgiveness.
