Written by Booth's great-grandson thrice removed, this book retells in dramatic form another version of the Booth saga, one carried down through the family's oral history.

Based on award-winning research, this work will tantalize the reader with insights and details known only to the immediate family and a few scholars, offering a new perspective on this crucial moment in American history.

The author provides evidence that powerful friends helped Booth escape to Asia where he wandered the earth, a ghost of a man wracked by despair and guilt, before returning to his country in later life. Rare family photos and dramatic anecdotes add an atmosphere of mystery to this epic tragedy.

This book was featured in the documentary "The Plot to Kill Lincoln" which was broadcast on The Learning Channel. Developed over a period of twenty-four years, this work has been well received by many readers. Know that my intent is in no way to absolve or justify Booth's crime, but rather to reveal through our family's private stories that Justice prevails in the end, even if it is much different than the version found in history books.

"I am abandoned with the curse of cain upon me."
from the diary of John Wilkes Booth
