Book Synopsis
Presents the story of the Beecher-Tilton scandal that shook American culture in the 1870s because the key players were such vaunted moral leaders. The book offers a tale of love, deception, faith and the indeterminacy of truth. It revises the conception of 19th-century morals and passions.
