Book Discussion: "Gallows Road"

  • East Lyme Public Library 39 Society Road Niantic, CT 06357 (map)

“A beautiful young woman is condemned to death for a crime that she swears she did not commit. Inspired by true events in Connecticut in the 1750s, "Gallows Road" is told through the eyes of an indentured servant, Mercy Bramble. The mysterious death of her newborn puts Mercy's life in the hands of a jury, while three ministers -- and a group known as Children of God -- fight to save her soul.”
