Summary
The Green Dress by Liz Tolsma is engrossing historical story. At times it was very heartbreaking and had my stomach in knots not sure what would happen since I knew it would was based on a true story. This true color series has been very interesting. Each book is based on a true story in history that is adapted into a fiction story. In this story Harriet is taken in by a family in the Boston area.
Eventually she and the local doctor notice that several members of their family are dying a painful death. Michael is a doctor in the area that suspects something is just not right. It just doesn’t line up.
I would highly recommend the book. It’s a great mystery because you’re not sure why they’re dying and if it’s at the hands of someone, and if so who. And the fact that it’s based on a true story makes it even more interesting. The author also includes additional information and in the back of the book so you know the true story and where she took liberties.
