The Witness by Nora Roberts

    Elizabeth Fitch has lived her entire life doing everything her mother, a gifted doctor, told her to do. How she dressed, what she studied, her spare time - all as she was told. Even her conception was planned with only the best genetic artificial insemination.  But at 16, Elizabeth decides to break the rules.  When her mother leaves for a medical conference, she rebels.  This one time act of rebellion results in the death of her first and only friend and Elizabeth being targeted by the Russian Mafia.  She is placed in the witness protection program and then finds herself on the run alone.

    Twelve years later she is still hiding.  In a small town in Arkansas she is known as the reclusive Abigail Lowery, who lives with her dog just outside of town on a well guarded piece of land.  But Sheriff Brooks Gleason has taken an interest in her, as has his Hippie mother. And that interest is growing - and personal. But her cover is about to be blown . . .

     Elizabeth/Abigail will remind you of TV's Bones.  The story is good, sometimes touching and romantic. All things Nora Roberts is good at.  This was another well done romantic-suspense novel by the author.  I enjoyed it, as always.
