Deadly Circumstances: Ordinary people changed by extraordinary circumstances

By Dorothy Ruthven

Readers of Deadly Circumstances travel the world and experience the highs and lows, the struggles for survival, and the life-altering decisions of the characters as they live within and react to the circumstances of their lives. Follow Anna as she attempts to salvage her marriage to Charlie, her absentee husband of more than 30 years. When Anna moves to the mountains of Northern New Mexico, the unraveling of her relationship with Charlie gains momentum and she does everything in her power to win him back, including traveling to India, Peru and Greece. In the meantime, Charlie and his money have unwittingly become the goal of a conniving woman's plan to escape the life of prostitution and poverty to which her beauty has doomed her. When Charlie disappears without a trace, Anna is left destitute and must summon all her strength to overcome her depression and use her tenacity and creativity to survive. Anna is made painfully aware that she can depend on no one but herself through complicated and troubled relationships with her two sons. Then, just as Anna is starting to put her life back together, Charlie makes a surprising decision that alters everyone's lives forever and almost lands Anna in prison. Readers will laugh and cry with Anna, rage in anger at Charlie's life choices, and, perhaps, recognize themselves and people they know in the fascinating characters involved in the Deadly Circumstances of this novel. Anyone who enjoys delving into human motivation and psychology will enjoy getting acquainted with these characters and their reactions to the circumstances into which they are thrown.
