Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"[E]ntertaining . . . worth reading for its wealth of Ripley’s Believe It or Not characters and their foibles." -- Dennis Drabelle - Washington Post
"A lively study of two wildly disparate clans." -- Leah Greenblatt - New York Times Book Review
"[Alford] packs the narrative with intriguing if little-known historical figures and strange coincidences. This unusual portrait of two famously intertwined families fascinates." -- Publishers Weekly
"Alford introduces readers to many spiritualist-devoted characters who held influential posts in both military and government. This may hold special appeal for fans of George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo (2017), since it provides factual background for the popular novel." -- Mark Knoblauch - Booklist
