"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. What emerges is a tale of love and betrayal, of heartbreak and scandal and, ultimately, hope. It all began with so much promise. Speaking up at last, Dina Matos McGreevey here recounts the details of her marriage to Jim McGreevey. Since then, she has remained silent. 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.. Since then she has been asked repeatedly about the nature of her marriage, about what she knew and when she knew it. Until now. 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.
