Unbelievable! Fantastic read. I resided in Tonica for several years. No idea we had a railroad stop there. I couldn’t put this book down.

Incredible fascinating but shocking story, I'm so glad that you took her story and put it into a book. Thank you, it may be a story of long ago but more people need to learn history

This has left me with many more questions. Can emotions change a person's mental ability? Does a boy going through puberty go through a temp mind altering, mental disfunction? What are/were the criteria for mental deficiency? Understanding another's manner of thinking is totally up for interpretation. An introvert person can not understand an extrovert. A teenage boy can not understand an old woman going through menopause. But each would call the other "crazy". Both would at moments exhibit psychotic behavior and delusional thinking. While I do believe Elizabeth went through her ordeal. I find myself wanting to believe none of it was done in malace. But a lack of knowledge. A period in time where women were looked down on. Perhaps a male ego issue. Or something other. I would be curious to learn why men of this time period felt justified.
