About the Book
This novel, the fourth of the author’s Ted Born Classic Courtroom Trials series, follows talented Constance Stanfield, young mother of two beautiful children, in her effort to expand the appreciation of beautiful lace, and delicate hand sewing and embroidery within her community and beyond. Steeped in her love of ancient Greek culture, Constance lives in a Greek Revival columned home at what she calls Helicon Heights, commemorating Mt. Helicon in Greece where the winged horse Pegasus touched down and caused springs of water to gush up, which the Muses regarded as sacred – Muses who shared their love of beauty with humanity. Pegasus tried to fly up to Mt. Olympus but never made it and later became the custodian of Zeus’ lightning bolts and eventually a constellation.
