Four books about lies, secrets, and corruption reviewed by Susan Olasky

Staying True | Jenny Sanford

Jenny Sanford portrays her former husband as a man who assumed adult responsibility when still in his teens, after his father's death. From that grew his notorious stinginess, which she details. She also portrays him as a man with both firm principles and an underlying restlessness. She describes candidly their years in politics and their boisterous family life with sons. As she found satisfaction in their family, he fed his restlessness: one more campaign, one more adventure trip. Gradually he became unmoored from his principles. He sacrificed honor, a 20-year marriage, and four sons for the sake of a chick-flick view of love. It's a sad story, a cautionary tale, and an honest appraisal of a husband's strengths and failings to leave for her sons.
