Water’s End by Jessica Deforest

After a disastrous marriage and divorce, Anne falls in love with handsome David and knows instinctively that she will love him forever. When she loses him, she marries on the rebound and finds herself trapped in a nightmare. It is only when she has given up all hope of ever finding him again that she discovers the secret that has kept them apart for so long.

Her journey from victim to survivor leads her to escape an abusive marriage and eventually takes her into the inner circles of Hollywood. Along the way she changes from needy to independent, bitter to accepting, and empty to fulfilled, even under tragic circumstances.
