Faith in Adultery

It is the middle of winter and Iris Angel is getting lonelier as the temperature drops. She is almost 27 years old and most of the people she knows are engaged, married, or have had children.




She has spent her life up until now focusing on her career and decides that it is now time to start taking her love life more seriously. However, London, Ontario, can drop down to minus 40 degrees in the winter, so she knows she must act fast.




It isn't long before Iris meets Adam Black, the man of every woman's dreams. He is perfect: good looking, the same age as her, and successful. What none of the characters in this story realize is that they are about to embark on one of the messiest relationships of the 21st century.




At some point, each of the characters plays their role in the act of an affair. It is impossible to reprimand any one single person participating in the affair. It becomes clear that this is an issue of society, and we need to start looking at it through a new lens in order for that to change.




Faith in Adultery is a satire on modern relationships and the main tool we can use to both strengthen a relationship as well as destroy one: communication. To have faith in adultery is to believe in the truth and strength of the love we have for ourselves, each other, and God, no matter what happens.




The question that this book raises in particular is: How can we learn to communicate better with each other in order to avoid the complications the story poses? The answer to this question is not a simple one, but as the story unfolds, there are clues given to the reader as to the valuable lessons contained within every answer.
