Lost to history until
now is the story of the four woman whom he loved and who loved him in return.
Presiding over the
chaotic Booth household and overflowing with a mother’s love, the steadfast and
compassionate Mary Ann Booth is blind to her son’s growing traitorous rage.
Asia Booth has always
stood by her younger brother, protecting him and helping him become a
successful actor like their father—but there are some secrets even the most
loyal confidante isn’t told.
Daughter of a unionist
New Hampshire senator, the smart, fiercely independent Lucy Hale believes the
love she and John share is a rare and precious blessing in a country torn apart
by war.
For the strong-willed,
widowed Mary Surratt, Booth represents the last hope of the Confederacy, and
she welcomes him and his conspirators into her home—at great peril to her
family.
As their stories
intertwine, overlap, and speed toward the inevitable conclusion, all four women
attempt to answer the most important question of their lives—who, exactly, is
John Wilkes Booth?
