In Search of Happily Ever After…

I was eighteen when I married John. He was thirty-nine. The red flags were fluttering from the rafters, but I ignored them all, convinced I'd found my fairy tale ending and the place I could belong.

Published at Two Hawks Quarterly “Happily Ever After” looks at what happened during my marriage to a Vietnam veteran, and how I expected my true love would reveal the Prince Charming hidden underneath his Beastly exterior. But life isn't as tidy as a fairy tale and the stories I believed growing up blinded me to the realities I was facing. Curses aren’t broken with simple tasks, and happy ever afters are rare.
