"Sixteen years have passed since Grace was locked up, at the age of sixteen, for the cold-blooded murders of employer Mr. Thomas Kinnear and his housekeeper/lover Nancy Montgomery. Her alleged accomplice in the crimes, Jame McDermot, paid the extreme sentence of the law and was hanged on November 21, 1843. But some thought Grace was innocent, and her sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment. After a spell in the Lunatic Asylum, it has been decided that she is neither mad nor dangerous, although she now claims to have no memory of the murders"--Back cover.
