Sobre o livro

The book delves into the captivating life of Henry Ward Beecher, the charismatic preacher who rose to fame by preaching a gospel of unconditional love and healing in contrast to his father's fire-and-brimstone theology.

However, his reputation suffered a severe blow when he was accused of adultery, leading to a scandalous trial that garnered widespread attention. Through a mix of suspenseful storytelling and historical evidence, the biography explores Beecher's impact on American culture and his enduring legacy amid the collision of religion and politics.
