Who knows why no one in the family wanted to admit that Orville Wilbur was a bigamist? Shame. Embarrassment. Or maybe they did not want to reveal the real story? It was a different era when the authors grandfather was born in 1894. Divorce was scandalous as a single mother, one can only imagine how Nettie Drake would have been treated at the market, the dry goods store, andgaspthe church. Not to mention the financial complications of how a woman could raise children alone. Whatever the reason, Nettie finally gathered her courage and sent shockwaves that rippled from a small Boston, Massachusetts suburb as far north as Maine and west to the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. A Bigamist in the Bunch untangles the myths about Nettie and Orville and paints a vivid snapshot that shows how a single genealogical anecdote changed the generations that followed. Jean Stone is a greatgranddaughter of Nettie and Orville. Inspired by the indepth genealogy research done by her sister, Joan Adams, Jean set out to learn more. The author of 17 novels, one nonfiction book, and countless articles, Jean is also a developmental editor with many additional books to her credit. The Bigamist in the Bunch, however, is personal. "It happened in my family," she said. "I wanted to document the truth."
