Description: Simmons presents readers with a true story of one woman's struggle with a bigamist husband in the 1950s. Through the use of an archive of roughly eight hundred of Eva Eldridge's letters and personal papers, the author tells the story of a woman bent on tracking down the serial bigamist who had married her only to disappear, as he had on a string of several women in the years following World War II. --Publisher.
