Who was Lizzie Borden?

A confused young woman, or a cold-hearted killer?

For generations, people all over the world have wondered how Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby, met their gruesome deaths. Lizzie, Andrew’s younger daughter, was charged, but a jury took only 90 minutes to find her not guilty. In this retelling, the family maid, Bridget Sullivan, shines a compassionate light on a young woman oppressed by her cheap father and her ambitious stepmother.

Was Lizzie mad, or was she driven to madness?

This book is amazing!

I was one of the luckiest people in the world who was able to read an early version of this novel. Let me tell you, it was fantastic! I loved this book because it has so many facets of fantastic story-telling. All in one novel, I was engaged, thrilled, creeped out, chilled, swoony, in love, disgusted, enthralled, and wrapped up in a bow of mystery. I didn’t know someone could take a chilling nursery rhyme and delve deep into the heart of a tragic history and truly bring it to life. I recommend this book not just for young adult readers, but lovers of horror, mystery, romance, and history.
