After a fairy-tale courtship in 1980s New York City, Maggie's young
marriage shatters when her "perfect" husband-a star editor at the
Wall Street Journal-is diagnosed with and dies of AIDS, leaving her
with two young children in a city electrified by paranoia about the
new epidemic. Devastated by his betrayal, Maggie struggles to
protect herself and her children from stigma, keeping the
circumstances of her husband's death a secret for nearly
twenty-five years. It is only when a journey of self-discovery
aligns with her children's coming of age and a new world of sexual
tolerance that she can finally embrace the truth and set herself
free. With a foreword by former Wall Street Journal assistant
managing editor Laura Landro and an afterword by psychologist Dr.
Dale Atkins, who frequently appears on The Today Show, Now Everyone
Will Know is an honest, unflinching memoir about the damaging
nature of family secrets and an inspiring call to embrace every
truth-the good, the bad, the ugly-that makes us who we are.
