About Lavinia:

On a trip to Charleston in search of his brother, Adam Shiloh and his faithful slave Tamba stop over at Six Mile House where Adam meets the enchanting Lavinia Fisher.

This historical novel is based on the true story of legendary Lavinia Fisher who was hanged for murder in 1820 along with her husband John Fisher and other members of the Six Mile House Gang.  Lavinia’s ghost is said to haunt Charleston’s Unitarian Cemetery where she is buried and the old jail on Magazine Street where she was held before her trial and execution.

Was Lavinia the murderess history paints her as or just a victim of circumstance?
