Mrs. MacKenzie

What happens when a desperate ghost needs to find out if her husband was sexually intimate with another woman? What if her husband was the leader of the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion, William Lyon Mackenzie, and the other woman is the Loyalist heroine Laura Secord? The answer lies in a bundle of letters that a museum guide finds hidden in the attic of Mackenzie House Museum. The guide and the ghost strike a deal: he will read the letters to her if she tells him her story. This novel unravels the Rebellion from the point-of-view of the woman who was closest to the action - Isabel Baxter Mackenzie.
