When her troubled past and a secret correspondence with charismatic Methodist minister Reverend Ephraim Avery was uncovered, more questions emerged. Was Sarah's death a suicide...or something much darker? Determined to uncover the real story, Victorian writer Catharine Read Arnold Williams threw herself into the investigation as the trial was unfolding and wrote what many claim to be the first American true-crime narrative, \u003ci\u003eFall River. \u003c\/i\u003eThe murder divided the country and inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e--but the reverend was not convicted, and questions linger to this day about what really led to Sarah Cornell's death.

Using modern investigative advancements--including \"forensic knot analysis\" and criminal profiling (which was invented fifty-five years later with Jack the Ripper)--Dawson fills in the gaps of Williams's research to find the truth and bring justice to an unsettling mystery that speaks to our past as well as our present, anchored by three women who subverted the script they were given.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Winkler Dawson\u003c\/b\u003e is a seasoned documentary producer and podcaster whose hit podcasts \u003ci\u003eTenfold More Wicked, Wicked Words\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBuried Bones\u003c\/i\u003e appear on the Exactly Right network.
