Lexington History Museums

What drove Bathsheba Spooner, a woman from elite eighteenth-century New England society, to conspire with American and British soldiers to murder her husband during the American Revolution? Join historian Andrew Noone to explore the sensational true-crime story of a cold husband, a lovestruck teenager, British prisoners of war, and a beautiful, possibly unstable woman caught amid the upheaval of wartime New England. For centuries, the case has fascinated and baffled residents of central Massachusetts—and remains one of the most notorious true crimes of the 1700s.<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2000205024071?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">More info and tickets</a>

It is a story of resilience and survival and over coming the near impossible! It was written to help me heal, but with also the intent to help others through their challenges in their lives.&nbsp;Due to the incoming storm (Nor'easter) My book signing event has been rescheduled for Sunday, October 18th at 1:00-3:00 pm
