This is the story of Catherine-a woman who was sexually abused as a child and never felt able to trust men-and Gabe, the man who, in the end, offered her true love and redemption.
As a young girl, Catherine was afraid of boys and never really had a boyfriend. At seventeen, she married a man four years her senior, but the marriage proved very abusive-both physically and mentally. Catherine divorced him and lived the single life before meeting and marrying Husband Number Two. This traditional, tolerable marriage lasted twenty-two years, but lacked the love and passion that Catherine desired; eventually she nearly had a nervous breakdown. Then she invented "Mr. Invisible," who cheers her up when she is depressed and nourishes her languishing spirit. She just knows in her heart that she will someday meet him in real life and find joy. Sure enough, she finally finds her "Mr. Invisible" in Gabe, and they fall deeply in love. At last, Catherine has found the satisfying union that had evaded her for so long.
Catherine and Gabe believe they are soul mates. Then tragedy strikes and they are forced to put their lives and happiness in the hands of an unpredictable and uncontrollable fate.
