  Before the bullet, before the stage, before the assassination that shocked a nation—there was a family. 
  Booth is a sweeping, intimate portrait of one of the most infamous names in American history, told not through the eyes of the assassin, but through the siblings, parents, and complex legacy that shaped him. Set in 19th-century America, this audiobook dives deep into the dramatic, often chaotic Booth household: a father hailed as a theatrical genius, a mother holding a family together, and children grappling with identity, ambition, and loyalty in a country on the verge of civil war.
