From the book jacket:
Margaret Lawrence introduces her unforgettable heroine, Hannah Trevor, whose disregard for convention sets her apart from the other women in the small town of Rufford, Maine. Yet as a midwife, Hannah is intimately involved in the lives of people simultaneously capable of great joy and deeply scarred by a bloody war of revolution... Now, in the middle of a merciless winter, an abomination has occurred; a young Rufford wife and mother has been raped and murdered in her home. Few knew the tormented victim well, but she named her three attackers in a horrified letter of accusation written before she died. And one of the accused is Daniel Josselyn - a wealthy man of honor, a wounded war veteran, and Hannah's one-time lover, the father of her illegitimate daughter...Hearts and Bones is a masterfully told, richly atmospheric tale of mystery and haunting passions - and a literary achievement that brilliantly evokes a triumphant and cruel moment in America's history...and the remarkable souls who lived it.
