Well, it ends up she should have asked, because he is murdered by influential people who also want her dead. His best friend gets her a new name and out of town with enough money to eat on and get various things needed. She is given a ramshackle , run down house that is covered in weeds and has a mulberry tree in the back. She has to live here, because his best friend ends up murdered and she can not ask more from him. She is a prolific cook and canner. She needs money, so she decides to market her sauces, preserves, and vegetables. She meets a handsome guy before long who becomes her boarder and helps her to fix up the place. Yes, they do fall in love, eventually, but she is a hold out for a long time. At the end she finds out the mystery behind her husband, his house, his family, and the town. It's a fabulous story.
Another great book by Jude Deveraux. I really enjoyed it.
