Interesting story., 12 July 2003
7/10
Author: Janet Oliver from Gilbert, AZ

I thought this was an interesting true story. Margaret Colin did an excellent job of "evolving" with the character. The husband sure was an S.O.B!! How someone could put their family through such torture is hard to understand. I hope he got his in the end in the real story.
