Good Husbands by Cate Ray
5.0
Wow! A powerful, intense, emotional read, but well worth it. Three women who have never met get identical letters detailing a gang rape that took place more than 20 years ago implicating their husbands as the rapists. Cate Ray takes you through several months of Stephanie, Pree, and Jess's lives as they are upturned by the allegations. Each woman reacts differently to the letter as they reexamine their lives with their "good husbands". Who do they trust? Their husbands or a total stranger? Will they act, react, or ignore?
Jess brings the trio together as they struggle through the upheaval and determine what action(s) they might take. Jess, Stephanie, and Pree are strong, determined, intelligent women who struggle with the wrecking ball that has hit them.
While this is an emotional read, it also brings to light the social issues women face every day regarding assault, rape, consent, legal avenues, and other obstacles. You never know exactly how you will react to a situation until you face it.
