It's the age-old tale of a straying husband, a woman scorned, and two dead bodies-or is it? By morning, the headlines and stories had circled the globe full of half-truths, misinformation and a potential coverup. The cheating husband who had driven his wife to such madness became the official account, forever etched into the annals of history.Yet the whole story of this brutal murder-suicide would lie hidden for months, only to be uncovered by Mark Gerardot himself in his aching quest to know what had led Jennair, his wife of 24 years, to such a violent act. In the process, he uncovers mounds of shocking proof of a wife's madness that was building for decades-one that had culminated in an unprecedented level of tracking and surveillance as she prepared to carry out her final act of revenge.Full of factual dialogue from hours of audio files, Irreparable recounts the intimate details of three people's lives, now forever linked, and seeks to move beyond labels, to equally honor the truth of all three souls impacted by the tragedy. More than an enthralling true-crime story, Irreparable is a memoir of a tumultuous marriage, a love affair, and one man's desperate efforts to reexamine the past as he recounts precious memories and early signs of trouble from the woman he knew and loved, but whose spiraling loss of control amid the high-tech surveillance she pursued took hold of her mind and life. Taking accountability for the choices he made, the signs he missed, and the better man he wishes to become Mark Gerardot reveals the truth and finds his way to a new life.
