More about the book

The narrative centers on Frankie Silver, who, in 1831, killed her abusive husband in self-defense and faced a tragic fate due to the legal constraints of her time. Author Perry Deane Young, with familial ties to the case, uncovers the truth behind the widely misrepresented story of her life and trial. He reveals how historical accounts and popular ballads have distorted the reality of her actions, arguing that the true injustice lies in the enduring misconceptions surrounding her case, leading to her wrongful execution in 1833.
