Sinopse

In the heart-wrenching tale of Betwixt the Crowns, we journey back to a time of turmoil and displacement, where the Acadian people, a proud and resilient community, faced the wrath of imperial powers. From their ancestral lands in Acadia, stretching along the Atlantic coast of North America, they were forcibly uprooted and scattered across distant shores.

Amidst the clash of empires, the Acadians' refusal to pledge allegiance to the British Crown ignited a fuse of conflict. In 1755, the British military unleashed a campaign of ethnic cleansing, tearing families apart and exiling thousands to far-flung corners of the world.

Their story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a people determined to preserve their identity and traditions. Despite the hardships they endured, the Acadians clung fiercely to their language, culture, and faith. They carried their heritage with them as they embarked on a new chapter, rebuilding their lives in unfamiliar lands.

From the windswept shores of Nova Scotia to the fertile valleys of Louisiana, the Acadians persevered, establishing vibrant communities that thrived amidst adversity. Their legacy lives on in the rich tapestry of North American culture, a testament to their unwavering resilience and determination.

Betwixt the Crowns is a poignant exploration of the human cost of war and displacement, a story of loss and renewal that resonates across time. It sheds light on a forgotten chapter of history, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

With vivid prose and meticulous research, this book brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the Acadian people. It is a powerful narrative that delves into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the enduring power of cultural heritage.

    In December 1832 a farmer found the body of a young, pregnant woman hanging near a haystack outside a New England mill town. When news spread that Methodist preacher Ephraim Avery was accused of murdering Sarah Maria Cornell, a factory worker, the case gave the public everything they found irresistible: sexually charged violence, adultery, the hypocrisy of a church leader, secrecy and mystery, and suspicions of insanity. Murder in a Mill Town tells the story of how a local crime quickly turned into a national scandal that became America's first "trial of the century." 
     
     
     
    After her death, Cornell's choices about work, survival, and personal freedom became enmeshed in stories that Americans told themselves about their new world of industry and women's labor and the power of religion in the early republic. Ordinary people gave testimony that revealed rapidly changing times. As the controversy of Cornell's murder spread beyond the courtroom, the public eagerly devoured narratives of moral deviance, abortion, suicide, mobs, "fake news," and conspiracy politics. Long after the jury's verdict, the nation refused to let the scandal go. 
     
     
     
    A meticulously reconstructed historical whodunit, Murder in a Mill Town exposes the troublesome workings of criminal justice in the young democracy and the rise of a sensational popular culture.
