Woman Born in 1845 Talks About the Child She Buried Without Telling Her Husband the Truth

While the world remembers her husband Abner as a man of unbreakable honesty, Nell reveals the shadow that lived between them.

Key Highlights: Survival in Northern Maine: Life on the edge of the Canadian border during the brutal winters of the 1860s.
