unexpected reversals of fortune."--Forbes
"There are many memoirs by women who don't know their husbands
until they die...but none has the brutal irony of "Innocent
Spouse...What makes this memoir exceptional is Carol Joynt's
unending honesty. She doesn't spare herself --- on many pages, she
really does come off like an idiot...But she perseveres. She
learns. She gets it right."--Jesse Kornbluth, HeadButler.com

bag. The choice is to crumble or carry on. Carol Joynt not only
carried on but she came through victorious."--Joan Rivers

indomitable spirit prizes through in this compelling memoir of

believed was the love of her life."–Sally Ryder Brady, author of
A Box of Darkness

the price she, as a wife, had to pay to save herself
and her young son."--bestselling author Kitty Kelley

hand like meat from a bone. Ms. Joynt takes on her life with both a
hatchet and a scalpel and is unafraid to turn an unerring spotlight

what emerges from this fascinating story is a courageous woman who
is a survivor and above all else a mother who would do anything for
her child."--bestselling author David Baldacci

nightmare and her ultimate triumph. I couldn't put it
down."--bestselling author Jane Stanton Hitchcock
