Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

In "The Wife's Story," a wife discovers her husband is not who she thought he was.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature, Identity, and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
