Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Join us on Tuesday November 19th at 6:30 pm as they welcome Georgia Jeffries to the store to discuss and sign The Younger Girl: A Dark Labyrinth of Family Betrayal. Joining her in conversation will be Aimee Liu.
In 1933, Chicago tabloids trumpeted the death of twenty-year-old town belle Aldine Younger:
“HEIRESS SLAIN, MARRIED MAN HELD.” Based on this true crime, The Younger Girl interweaves fact and fiction in a tale of haunting suspense, betrayal, and long-denied redemption.
In the aftermath of Aldine Younger’s tragic death, her grieving brother Owen suspects that their wealthy uncle orchestrated a sinister murder plot to cover up the theft of Aldine’s inheritance. Fast forward to 1996, when an aging Owen, burdened by the weight of the past, is compelled to discover the truth before he dies. His daughter, Joanna, becomes the key to unraveling the family’s twisted history.
