Love’s Widowhood: And Other Poems (1889)

For six years, John doubted the suicide of his father. During this same time span his mother enjoyed a rich life with her second husband, Bill Miller. She had her two-story house in a rich, gated community that only the elite could afford. With the exception of educational assistance, John and his brother Peter were never invited to enjoy this lifestyle until the murder of their stepfather. Can the two brothers accept the new lifestyle of riches or will one of them learn to adjust to prison life after being convicted of a horrific murder? Maybe now they can have control of it all after their mother is arrested for the murder of her husband. Maybe now the truth about his father will be revealed. Maybe now John can have peace when he visits his father in memory. Sergeant Wallace is sure that John is the only one that could have murdered Mr. Miller. Lieutenant Gram is just as sure of Johnas innocence. Does Lieutenant Gram have the necessary skills to find the real murderer or does he reinforce the suspicions of Sergeant Wallace?
