Is there such a thing as a perfect marriage? David thought so. But when his wife Mary Rose dies
suddenly he has to think again. In reliving their twenty years together David sees that the
ground beneath them had shifted and he simply hadn't noticed. Or had chosen not to. Figuring
out who Mary Rose really was and the secrets that she kept - some of these hidden in plain
sight - makes David wonder if he really knew her. Did he even know himself? Nothing But Blue
