My Soul On Ice
An Unconventional Third Way to Rebuild a Life After Betrayal
by
Anne-Remy Jones
Five decades of marriage. Such a milestone should be a cause for celebration. But that never happened—not in any conventional way. For Anne-Remy Jones, a woman in her seventies, life as she knew it had been derailed by a dark secret. One that her stoic but steadfast husband had harboured for more than a decade. Lies. Betrayal. Rage. When the world came crashing down around Jones, it set off shockwaves that threatened to destroy everything she held dear. Despite her disbelief and anger, Jones realized she had to find an out-of-the- box way to cope, or risk losing everything. In this sometimes-shocking memoir, My Soul on Ice: An Unconventional Third Way to Rebuild a Life after Betrayal, Jones recalls the people and places that helped shape her worldview. She tells her story with aplomb, interspersing her present-day upheaval with recollections over the decades. One constant during Jones’ peripatetic life, moving from the US to the UK, Asia, and eventually settling in Canada, is pondering the path not taken. Leaving behind her first love. Choosing to deprioritize her career. Trusting her husband. Jones tries to come to terms with the past while gaining the courage to redefine the present, along with the meaning of marriage, on her own terms.
ANNE-REMY JONES has long been a teacher and storyteller, having edited and contributed to Shanghai Cocktail (2007), a compilation of expat experiences in China. She belongs to a Toronto writer’s circle called Mistresses of the Muse. Anne-Remy Jones lives in Toronto, Canada.
