She is a strong woman, and she marries her life's love. When depression and suicidal thoughts strike her husband, precipitated by a business crime Jenna is certain he didn't commit, it affects them both. Furthermore, they've both changed, and Matthew has made numerous disruptive choices. His distressing choices have affected her mentally and emotionally. He was a good husband for many years; however, even before his depression, his moods had changed. He became verbally abusive to her and her confidence has slipped, as well as her outlook on the future of their marriage. Jenna needs to reassess her prospects, and Matthew needs to understand what he has done. Great friendships for both Jenna and Matthew bring welcome reprieves to life's every-day situations, lightening their lives and bringing hilarity into their relationships.
