Whatever happened to Lizzie Borden after the trial that accused her of bludgeoning her father and stepmother with a hatchet in 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts? It's all in here, and it doesn't stop with Lizzie. A plethora of persons were involved around her in some way. From her friends to her foes, from the doctors to the policemen, from her Manse to The Nance, at last comes the first book of its kind that tells what caused Officer Philip Harrington (who greatly disliked Lizzie) to die suddenly in 1893. What happened to neighbor and friend Dr. Bowen after the crime and trial? Why doesn't Edwin Porter, who covered the trial then wrote the first contemporary book on the murders, The Fall River Tragedy, have a gravestone - and who is buried with him? Not by him. Actually with him. From original source documents, photos of the graves, obituaries, and death certificates each on whom records could be found has their story told in details unknown until now. What were they doing before anyone much had heard of Lizzie Borden? What was their role in the case? When did they die and how? Some of the results may surprise you, whether you read this book for pleasure or research. There are no legends here, but a factual telling of the stories of these persons who are today all gone but need not be forgotten. And with this book they may be hard to forget.

Sherry Chapman is a freelance writer who was raised in the small town of Rockwood, Michigan. A life-long writer at heart, she has held many jobs in the writing field including ghostwriting, critiquing, and as a reader for a well-known publishing house. Sherry has been writing in the Lizzie Borden field since 1999 when she began to write humor for The Lizzie Borden Quarterly, and soon was named their Resident Humorist by editor, Maynard Bertolet. When the LBQ ceased publication, she was invited by Dr. Stefani Koorey to join the staff of her new magazine, The Hatchet: A Journal of Lizzie Borden & Victorian Studies, where she once again was the Resident Humorist, writing two likeable features each issue: "Dear Abby" (where she composed and answered humorous letters as Abby Borden) and "Bridget's Kitchen" (where she took on the voice of the Bordens' Irish servant, sharing the latest Borden in-home happenings with an authentic Irish recipe from olden days.) Today she is also the Humor Editor for a second publication of Dr. Koorey's, The Literary Hatchet. She has had numerous Borden historical articles published as well. She also writes on the subject of General Custer. She and her husband of over 30 years enjoy traveling, good people, two cats from a shelter and a hilarious dog of unknown origin obtained from an animal rescue shelter. She and her husband raised great kids, and they are very proud grandparents. Sherry has homes in Minnesota and upstate New York.
