About this ebook
Deep beneath the roots of a family tree, buried facts about a runaway teenaged marriage, violence, murder, the courts, a months-long newspaper tumult. It started with an innocent hobby night of genealogy, but what prizewinning author David Haward Bain (“Empire Express,” “The Old Iron Road”) discovered that night and over the next feverish days of detective work would change the course of his life, revealing a century-old family secret of his beloved grandmother Rose Donahue Haward. It would quickly take him back to her home ground of Kansas City, Missouri and through many archives, and into the very heart of memory itself.
