Weeks after her burial, her ghost appeared at the bedside of her mother, telling her that she had in fact been murdered. The appearance of the ghost led to the case being re-opened, the body being exhumed, and new evidence gathered. Ultimately Zona's husband, Trout Shue, was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In this new edition of a much sought after classic, author Katie Lyle's exhaustive research and creative storytelling have resulted in a compelling look at the story of Zona Shue. Seven Wives contains the fascinating details behind the ghost story, and includes interviews with residents and family members who shed light on the tale which has become a West Virginia classic.
New edition contains historical photographs never before published, as well as new research.
