Remember: “Happiness is when you are understood”? Not everyone has experienced this happiness - to find your soul mate, a person who understands you, accepts you for who you are, without trying to remake, re-educate. Writer Maxim Kovalev was sure that nothing could happen in his life: he is popular, rich , has been married for a long time and firmly. His wife at one time “brought him into the public eye” and has been guiding him with a firm hand since then, giving him no concessions, punishing him for weaknesses and encouraging him for success. Was this life a happy one? Maxim didn’t have time to think about it. But one day - how often everything changes at one moment under the influence of this “one day”! – he received a letter from a grateful reader. Marina Storozheva wrote that Maxim’s books saved her from loneliness and melancholy and helped her believe that life was worth continuing. This letter became a flash of lightning. Kovalev wondered if this was how he lived, and most importantly, if the woman next to him was the right one.
