The tragic, true story of Helen Spence, the teenager who murdered her father's killers in the insulated lower White River area of Arkansas in 1931.
The once-thriving houseboat communities along Arkansas's White River are long gone, and few remember the sensational murder story that set local darling Helen Spence on a tragic path. In 1931, Spence shocked Arkansas when she avenged her father's murder in a DeWitt courtroom. The state soon discovered that no prison could hold her. For the first time, prison records are unveiled to provide an essential portrait. Join author Denise Parkinson for an intimate look at a Depression-era tragedy. The legend of Helen Spence refuses to be forgotten-despite her unmarked grave.
"Most memorably, Parkinson evokes the natural beauty of the White River itself. But more importantly, she's given Helen Spence, daughter of the river, a sympathetic hearing-something in its pulp version of events Daring Detective did not."-Memphis Flyer
"Denise details Helen's life, from the murder of her father to the horrific treatment she received at the hands of the law, including how prison officials seemed to entice her to escape a final time, with the attempt culminating in her murder."-Only in Arkansas
