Lizzie Borden in Love, a collection of poems by national bestselling author, Julianna Baggott, offers poignant commentary in the voices of women as varied as Mary Todd Lincoln and Monica Lewinsky. The poems often focus on a particular moment in life: Katherine Hepburn discovers the dead body of her brother in an attic, or painter, Mary Cassatt mourns the failure of her eyesight. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes ecstatic, the poems in this collection never fail the trust of the subjects of their intimate portrayals.
Victorian England. A girl. A mysterious plot. A secret society threatened by an unknown foe. An auctioneer. A prophecy. An adventure.

Can she prevent the predestined destruction of her Order? Who is the strange Sir Edwin, anyway? Lizzie Lott's Reflection is the second of a series of seven novels charting the exploits of its teenage heroine and the mysterious Knights of the Most Righteous Order of Saint Judas.

Did she do it? A hundred years ago, it was the Trial of the Century. A young woman stood accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother in a crime so heinous that it became a benchmark in human tragedy. A hundred years later, the Lizzie Borden case still resounds in the imagination. There are those who staunchly defend Lizzie's innocence while others behemently decleare that she did it, and that the murder was justified. In Elizabeth Engstrom's brilliant novel, the dark psychology of the Borden household is laid bare. Lizzie, her sister Emma and their parents Andrew and Abby Borden, are sharply illuminated--as are the paranoia and concealed hatred that secretly ruled the family. Domestic violence and dysfunctional families are not inventions of modern times.
