The truth behind the lies. It was an unforgettable scene. Dina Matos McGreevey, an attractive woman in her mid-thirties, wife, mother, and First Lady of the state of New Jersey, watched silently as her husband, then New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, resigned his office with the revelation that he was a "gay American." The picture of grace and loyalty, perfectly composed in her pale blue suit, Dina Matos McGreevey gave no sign of the tangled mixture of fear, sorrow, and anger she felt that day, no hint of the devastation that was to come. Since then she has been asked repeatedly about the nature of her marriage, about what she knew and when she knew it. Since then, she has remained silent. Until now. Speaking up at last, Dina Matos McGreevey here recounts the details of her marriage to Jim McGreevey. What emerges is a tale of love and betrayal, of heartbreak and scandal . . . and, ultimately, hope. It all began with so much promise. Dina Matos was a responsible and civic-minded young woman who fell in love with the passion of political action. When Jim McGreevey walked into her life, he appeared to be a kind and loving man, someone with whom she could build a life based on shared ideals, a strong spiritual commitment, and a desire to make a difference in the world. Beyond their initial chemistry, Dina Matos was attracted by Jim McGreevey's principles and his unwavering devotion to his work. She didn't know that his life, and thus their marriage, were built on a foundation of lies; that his past was littered with casual sexual encounters in seedy bookstores and public parks; or that, by his own admission, he began an adulterous affair with another man while she was in the hospital awaiting the birth of their child. "Could I have known," she asks. "How could I have known?" With scalding honesty, she tells of her life with the former governor, of the politics and public service that brought them together, and the lies that tore them apart. Here is a story of a marriage that was anything but happily-ever-after, told by a strong and resilient woman who can, and finally will, speak for herself.

Despite her fussiness and track record of failure, she's sent to Earth to do what needs to be done. Her mission is to help Tom Summers, a struggling columnist for an expanding magazine empire in Los Angeles -- to Homer, the epicenter of Western egocentrism and inauthenticity. She must help him publish a book that would ultimately change Earth's fate".
“This book is about laughter, sorrow, life and Spirit. But most of all, it is about courage – the courage to see where you are on the continuum of your life’s journey.” In this intimate arrangement of emotive short stories, Juliet Castle presents provocative thoughts that challenge the reader’s perspective. Collectively, the stories reveal a deeper understanding of life initially veiled from view. Juliet’s stories portray how the mystery of life is attempting to reach you deep within. They compel the reader to wonder. What is it you are incessantly experiencing through your life’s encounters? What are the forces at work? Who is your Silent Partner? Juliet attempts to reveal the answers to these questions by encouraging the reader to step forward and to see the forces acting behind life’s play. The Silent Partner is a creative literary work that contains many short stories with varying content, context, and style, as well as artistically drawn images. Each of the short stories is intended to lead towards a discovery and has the underlying theme of ‘the Silent Partner’ to connect the individual story to the collection as a whole. Inspired by Shakespeare, the storybooks of Aesop’s Fables, and the Brother’s Grimm, The Silent Partner and Other Stories of Truth plays on words and uses symbolism with poetic placement and style that lends itself towards an enjoyable, yet provoking read. It could be placed alongside Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, and Paul Coelho in the category of Spirituality.
