For Thee is a first-person fictional narrative of the marriage of Pauline Pfeiffer and Ernest Hemingway.

It is historically factual and includes character sketches of all the well-known players of the 1920s Paris expat set. We follow Pauline from the cotton fields of Arkansas to post-WW I Paris, where she meets Ernest Hemingway. Once they are married, they ostensibly settle in Key West, but, in reality, they never stop moving.

They follow the bullfights in Spain, shoot game in the mountains of Idaho and Wyoming, hunt for big game in Africa, and troll the waters of Cuba to reel in marlin.

A devout Catholic when she meets Ernest, Pauline willfully sins against the tenets of her upbringing and abandons her God, all for a man who meets a long-legged blonde in a bar and will edit her out of his life with the same casual disdain he’d normally reserve for a badly written sentence.
