Libby Henry was 18 when she met Ted House in a history class at the University of Kentucky. He reminded her of a Ken doll. She, having grown up with few resources in Louisville, only wanted to build the family she never had.
They married in 1993, and for a while it was all trips to Costa Rica, a house worth nearly a million dollars, and the life she had dreamed of since high school. But behind that facade, Ted was hiding a mortgage fraud scheme that would land him in prison, and he was forging his wife’s signature on documents she never saw.
When her marriage collapsed, Libby discovered that her bank account had only $11. She spent eight years fighting to clear her name. Today she has a job, wrote a book about what she went through, and found in other women a community that helped her heal.
