The Last Honest Woman / Nora Roberts / 343 pages

Abby is one of triplets born to traveling Irish troubadours.  Constantly on the move throughout her childhood, she desperately wanted to put down roots after the birth of her first baby.  Her husband, a famous race car driver, is a philanderer and wants no part of the farm Abby sees as her refuge.  When her husband is killed in a race, Abby is left to raise her two children alone.  Her mother-in-law kept her son's trust fund leaving Abby near penniless.  She resorts to cleaning houses and raising horses to make ends meet.  When a famous biographer offers her a sizable amount to write about her husband, Abby attempts to relate only the good parts of their relationship to provide a legacy for her sons.  She is unsuccessful with satisfying results.
