After graduating from college and working in finance during the 1980s, she left NYC to complete graduate studies in London. She married a British classmate who was transferred abroad and went on to become a successful entrepreneur. For the next twenty-seven years, she lived a life of boundless expat luxury, all the while suffering nonstop abuse from her cruel, entitled husband.
