What would you do if, just weeks after your spouse's sudden

death, you found out he was keeping secrets? Big secrets. Secrets

that could cost you millions of dollars—and brand you as a

criminal. Innocent Spouse is an eye-opening memoir that asks

a provocative and disturbing question: Is it possible to really

know and trust someone, even your spouse?

Carol Ross Joynt was a successful television producer in

Washington, D.C. Her husband, Howard, owned Nathans, a

legendary restaurant in Georgetown. From an outsider’s perspective,

Carol and Howard lived a fairy-tale life—spending weekends at their

Chesapeake Bay estate, rubbing shoulders with New York’s and

Washington’s elite, and raising their beloved son, Spencer. But

everything changed with Howard’s sudden death when Spencer was only

five years old.

Like any widow, Carol was devastated because she lost the love of

her life and her son’s father. But soon Carol had much more to cope

with than her grief and new life as a single parent. As she was

forced to take over her family’s legal and financial

responsibilities, as well as run Howard’s restaurant on her own,

Carol discovered that her husband had secrets, and one of them, an

almost $3 million debt to the IRS, threatened to derail her entire

life. And even though Carol didn’t know anything about the tax

fraud—finances had always been Howard's department—no one cared. As

his surviving spouse, legally, Carol was responsible.

As Carol picks up the pieces of her fractured life and copes with

her sadness and anger, she learns to become something she’d never

been before: self-sufficient. Poignant, eye-opening, and at times

heartbreaking, Innocent Spouse is ultimately an inspiring

story of strength and newfound independence in the face of loss and

betrayal.
