Harriet and Isabella by Patricia O'Brien

Harriet and Isabella by Patricia O'Brien


This book tells the story of Harriet Beecher Stowe and her sister Isabella. Their brother Henry is a well known preacher and is accused of adultery. He is accused by a major player in the woman's suffragist movement, a friend of Isabella. The book chronicles the trial, the family breaking apart, and the ramifications years after the verdict is read.

Good story, I had never heard of this story before so it was interesting, drug on a little long in some parts. Worth a read.
