The Long Con
A 12-Year Marriage Built on Lies
Dr. Tonya Johnson thought she was building a life with a husband she could trust. Instead, she discovered a marriage woven out of fabrication, false degrees, phantom jobs, invented stories, and even lies about intimacy and health. Each revelation chipped away at her sanity until she realized the truth: she wasn’t in a partnership. She was in a performance, and he was the actor.
The Long Con: A 12-Year Marriage Built on Lies is the raw, unfiltered memoir of one woman’s escape from manipulation. With humor, grit, and heart, Tonya recounts the outrageous stories, the quiet years of absence, and the final Great Escape that led her to freedom.
This isn’t just her story, it’s a cautionary tale for anyone who’s ever ignored a red flag, and a declaration for every woman who has fought her way out of the dark and into her truth.
