Our take
Divorce in the Black follows a wife who finds out her husband is not who she married. Expect frequent f-word language, sex talk, beer and whiskey, funerals, and a man who turns violent, including killing animals. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
Ava, a young bank professional is devastated when her husband Dallas abandons a marriage she is determined to fight for until fate intervenes, revealing Dallas' wicked deeds that have trashed their marriage, and once upon a time sabotaged Ava's destiny to be loved by her true soulmate.
