Elizabeth Blackwell leads you through a summer of intrigue and an event that changed her life forever. "I didn't know it at the time, but the events that were unfolding were the beginning of my life changing. I watched Daddy disappear down to the dock, when the only thing visible was a small flicker from his flashlight in the distance. There were no sounds. How strange this was. Momma and I stood there looking out the old screen door. I'm not sure why Daddy went down to the dock; the screaming didn't even come from that direction. I didn't ask. Momma made a fuss but Daddy ignored her. I suppose I kept quiet because I knew the pecking order and knew my place, besides, the man was my Daddy and he must have known what he was doing. His time investigating seemed endless."
