Gay Ex - Governor's
Wife Writes Memoir
By AP from the
NYTimes on the Web, January 18, 2007
NEW YORK -- The estranged wife
of former New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey, who in 2004 stunned the nation by
announcing he was gay and resigning from office, is writing a memoir. Dina
Matos McGreevey's ''Silent Partner'' is scheduled to be published this spring by
Hyperion Books.
''I've had a lot of requests for interviews and appearances, but thought it best
for my daughter (Jacqueline) and myself to stay out of the public maelstrom,''
Dina McGreevey said in a statement released Thursday by Hyperion.
''But two years have passed and still I am the subject of much speculation as to
the nature of my relationship with my husband. Enough is enough.''
James McGreevey's memoir, ''The Confession,'' came out last fall. He wrote
in the book that he was forced to quit after a man he loved threatened to reveal
his homosexuality unless he was paid millions to stay quiet.
