Shame. Embarrassment. Or maybe they did not want to reveal the real story? It was a different era when the author's grandfather was born in 1894. Divorce was scandalous; as a single mother, one can only imagine how Nettie Drake would have been treated at the market, the dry goods store, and-gasp-the church. Not to mention the financial complications of how a woman could raise children alone. Whatever the reason, Nettie finally gathered her courage and sent shockwaves that rippled from a small Boston, Massachusetts suburb as far north as Maine and west to the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. A Bigamist in the Bunch untangles the myths about Nettie and Orville and paints a vivid snapshot that shows how a single genealogical anecdote changed the generations that followed. Jean Stone is a great-granddaughter of Nettie and Orville. Inspired by the in-depth genealogy research done by her sister, Joan Adams, Jean set out to learn more. The author of 17 novels, one non-fiction book, and countless articles, Jean is also a developmental editor with many additional books to her credit. The Bigamist in the Bunch, however, is personal. \"It happened in my family,\" she said. \"I wanted to document the truth.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1887043136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781887043137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Genealogy House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Jean Stone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939070705919,"sku":"9781887043137","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b0fb892b-f9f4-42fa-9261-1016086be7ef.jpg?v=1681439321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-bigamist-in-the-bunch-jean-stone-9781887043137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
