The Evidence Against Her: A Novel

Plot

On a bright September day in 1888, three children are born -- Robert Butler, Lily Scofield, and her cousin Warren -- and they are inseparable from birth. Robert and Lily marry, but for all her days Lily loves Warren. When he falls in love with the younger Agnes Claytor, Lily's life is changed irrevocably. Set against the landscape of a turn-of-the-century small mid-western town, this is a classic story, a love story, a story of a family that readers will ache to follow into the next generation. Like Henry James and Edith Wharton, Dew has written a beautiful, moving, and accessible story about the evolution of an American family.
