Jeanne Trantel’s life was perfect—or so it seemed. She had it all: a loving husband who worked on Wall Street, two beautiful, healthy sons, and a dream home in the affl uent Long Island community where she grew up, surrounded by friends and family. But then, with one phone call, the life she knew and loved came crashing down around her. “Your husband,” the caller said, “is in custody for a series of bank robberies that have occurred all over Nassau County.” Jeanne would soon discover that her husband, Stephen, was living a lie. He was no longer the Wall Street trader that Jeanne, his family, and his friends all thought him to be. Instead of heading to Wall Street each morning as he claimed, Stephen was robbing banks. In Till Heist Do Us Part, Jeanne chronicles the human toll of this ripped-from-the- headlines true story. Consumed by anger and humiliation and faced with mounting debt and piles of unpaid bills, Jeanne entered what she describes as the “darkest time” in her life. But Jeanne’s story is not a tragedy; it is a story of hope and redemption, of faith, love, and the power of forgiveness.
