Based on true story of Dorothy and Joseph Hutelmyer. January 2011 news report: "When Dorothy Hutelmyer's husband ran off with his secretary, she didn't just get mad. She took the little homewrecker to court. In one of the biggest get-evens in the history of matrimony, a jury sided with Mrs. Hutelmyer and ordered the secretary to pay $1 million for breaking up what once was a "storybook marriage."
"I'm hoping that America's speaking out and saying that family is important, that we agree that marriage is a gift from God," said Mrs. Hutelmyer. "It's not right for someone to come in and destroy that gift."
