The book I’ve read is “The Borden Murders” by Sarah Miller. This book is mainly about on August 4th, 1892 Andrew Borden (father) and Abby Borden (stepmother) ended up dead in their house with blood all over their furnitures, clothes and bodies with an axe sticking out of their heads. 32 year old Lizzie Borden was the prime suspect and after the inquest and investigations, she was under arrest and was in trial. Although she was acquitted, but the town she lived in still didn’t believed in her innocence.
The theme of this book is about even though the situation wasn’t solved, it doesn’t mean that people should spread rumors about biased feelings and it could leave the person in a really bad situation and position.
From the prologue the author suggested that the 4 line nursery rhyme is far from the truth. “Today, everything most people know of Lizzie Andrew Borden is contained in those four singsong lines of doggerel. And nearly everything in those four lines is wrong.” (Miller 3). Sarah Miller implies that Lizzie Borden is innocent from the introduction and we shouldn’t believe in everything if we didn’t witness it and have enough evidence for it. In the epilogue the author suggest and repeats her former and original idea: “The evidence presented to those 12 men simply was not enough to put her to death” (Miller 251). Sarah Miller is trying to inform us that now, we may never know if Lizzie Borden is guilty or innocent. But because there is not enough evidence for her to be guilty and also we can’t revert everything, and so the lack of evidence may lead to biased feelings among the village. Although the case of the Borden Murders still remains a mystery, it lead to Lizzie Borden having to carry all the burden because of people’s biased feelings. “But money could not buy the one thing Miss Lizbeth wanted most. ‘I would give every cent I have in the world and beg in the streets,’ she once told a friend, ‘if it could only be proved while I live that I did not kill my father and my stepmother.'” (Miller 250). This is why we shouldn’t spread rumors about biased feelings since it can make the person in a very uncomfortable state.
The reasons we should read “The Borden Murders” is because it contains a lot of interesting facts, it includes some graphs, portraits, pictures of the characters, house, street ect. Another reason we should read this book is because it contains lots of news reports from the actual case that dates back to the 1892s.
Something that I’ve learned during this session from the book is that to judge or decide whether a person is guilty or innocent should be based on facts and evidence instead of biased feelings or people’s prejudices. 
The 4 line nursery rhyme:
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Gave her mother 40 whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father 41.
