An explosive, heartbreaking memoir from the widow of Mark Madoff and daughter-in-law of Bernard Madoff, the first genuine inside tale from a family member who has lived through- and survived-both the general public crisis and her personal deeply personal tragedy. When the news of Bernard Madoff ‘s Ponzi plan broke, Americans were shocked and outraged, probably none more so than the unsuspecting people of his very own family members. After learning that their father’s legendarily successful wealth management business about The End of Normal was ‘all just one single big rest,’ Tag and Andrew Madoff changed their father in and cut off all communication with both parents. Mark and his wife, Stephanie, strove to produce a fresh start with regard to their two young children, but Mark could not conquer his feeling of betrayal and shame-he and additional family members had been sued for $200 million in Oct of 2009. He hung himself in the two-year anniversary of his father’s arrest. Left to raise her children as a single mom, Stephanie wrote this memoir to provide them a feeling of who their father really was, defend his innocence, and put her personal declaration on record forever. In this candid insider account, she discusses her idyllic wedding to Tag on Nantucket, what it had been enjoy to be always a area of the Madoff family, the build-up to Bernard’s confession, and the press frenzy that followed. It is about the loss of the fairytale life she knew, adjusting to life with a guy she hardly acknowledged anymore, as well as the tragic and final loss of her husband.
