Synopsis
An intimate, honest, and inspiring memoir of a woman coming into her own
Raised to believe she’s worthless, Marsha Jacobson agrees to marry a controlling man and move to Japan with him because she’s afraid to say no. In Tokyo, a chance encounter leads to a job at Mattel Toys Southeast Asia. As her confidence grows, her husband becomes aggressive and abusive. Finally back in America, she jumps in a truck with their two toddlers and escapes from him, chased by the police.Discovering her true self, Marsha earns a Harvard MBA and launches a successful career, all while caring for her children and fending off her vengeful ex. She marries again, and this marriage is loving and joyful—until her husband’s past reveals itself and shatters everything.
With brave honesty, Marsha gives voice to the lived experience of neglect, eating disorders, domestic violence, and the contagiousness of trauma. The Wrong Calamity is an inspirational journey into one woman’s challenging and ultimately triumphant life.
