From acclaimed author Dawn Ius comes an edge-of-your-seat reimagining of one of the most chilling mysteries in modern history--Lizzie Borden.
Seventeen-year-old Lizzie Borden has never been kissed. Polite but painfully shy, Lizzie prefers to stay in the kitchen, where she can dream of becoming a chef and escape her reality. With tyrannical parents who force her to work at the family's B&B; and her blackout episodes--a medical condition that has plagued her since her first menstrual cycle--Lizzie longs for a life of freedom, the time and space to just figure out who she is and what she wants.

The two of them forge bonds that quickly turn into something that's maybe more than friendship.
But when her parents try to restrain...
