I was thinking of getting Jenny Sanford's book about her husband Mark Sanford's SORDID adultery.
Has anyone read it? I am just worried it would be triggering for me.

If you worry it might trigger you, just say no.
I couldn't do it. I think I'd rather sit through all of the original "Planet of the Apes" movies with my lids taped open than to read another story about infidelity.

Is she still with him? I never heard about that...

I have read it and enjoyed it. It is much more about their lives pre-infidelity than during and after. I recommend it.
And no, she is no longer with him.
