Magasin Rent Morals by Tissot, Juliet Cartier NEUF

Rent Morals is a book about a picture-perfect marriage that ended with a woman not knowing the man who slept in her bed for twenty years. The relationship started with an explosive first introduction where Juliet vowed to never see Michael again. Soon after, against all odds, it turned into a year of exciting courtship that involved Ohio State football games and a Carribean cruise. The couples whirlwind dating transformed into a storybook image of two parents madly in love with each other. They had a football player for a son and a dancer for a daughter. The couple was a team. Michael was football coach, and Juliet was team mom. They were regulars at church, and their house was where all the neighborhood kids gathered on a regular basis. To the naked eye, no cracks could be seen in their glossy smooth exterior. The Tissots looked like they had it all.

Then one day...it happened. Juliet found out Michael was having an affair. As if that wasnt heartbreaking enough, over the course of the next few months, she would learn an affair was the easiest part of her story to accept. Turns out Michael, the devout Christian leader of their family, had many affairs over many years. Message after message and story after story came rolling in. Rent Morals has many unexpected twists and turns about sexual harassment, strippers, suicide, and lies.

Rent Morals is the culmination of the notes Juliet took and messages she received throughout the course of her divorce. It highlights the conversations she had with the women her husband cheated with. It also describes how she mustered up the strength to counsel others going through similar situations and how she became a role model for women crushed by the discovery their husbands werent who they pretended to be. Its a story of discovery and depression, strength and courage. Its a story of a woman who used some very unconventional methods of fighting back to expose a man who lived two shockingly different lives.
