Bleeding Kansas

In this gripping contemporary novel by New York Times bestselling author Sara Paretsky, three families in Kansas—the Grelliers, the Fremantles, and the Schapens—navigate a legacy of conflict rooted in their shared history. Once united in the fight against slavery, they now clash over topics ranging from organic farming to religion. When Gina Haring, a relative of the Fremantles, arrives to house-sit the family mansion, her differing beliefs challenge the fragile dynamics of the community, bringing to light the complexities of modern American life amid greater social upheavals.
