Lost Love

Set in New York in the years after the Civil War, this gripping, poignant book is the story of a love affair that ended in one of the most sensational murder trials of the nineteenth century. It is the story of two lovers: Albert Richardson, a dashing jouralist, and Abby Sage, a beautiful actress who had fled an abusive marriage. In 1869, in the lobby of the New York Tribune, Abby's jealous ex-husband fatally shot Richardson. The ensuing trial spiraled into a furious debate on the sanctity of marriage and the rights of women.
