LOL! I really doubt that has anything to do with a romance novel. It might be useful for people that I know, but it has nothing to do with heroines with mysterious backgrounds. ;)
I also realized that I was reading a different sort of Lackey last night (and goodness, do I have a lot of Lackey). The Free Bards? It's a trilogy of novels under one cover (it was re-released by Baen). Basically the first one is about the adventures of a girl who wants to be a bard and runs away from a (not very good) home to do so. There's some Celtic influence to it and a ghost story element.
Apparently, I tend to go toward the beginning of the hero/heroine's quest books as the ones that I like best.
I enjoyed a very old book when I was younger that was about the American First Ladies. It was non-fiction, but very fun to read. The author really brought the women to life.
