"[A] genre-bending debut novel. . . . There's an impressive deliberateness in the way that Hadlock present her themes. . . The novel also skillfully uses foreshadowing to create a suspenseful atmosphere without giving the game away. . . . An often engaging and inventive character study." -- Kirkus Reviews "Drawing on a true story, Hadlock uses authentic period detail and well-drawn characters to pull readers into Annie/Bessie's precarious journey toward redemption, which comes to an unexpected ending. This affecting tale of a 19th-century American woman struggling to prove her worth other than as a marriage prospect leaves a lasting impression." -- Publishers Weekly "Hadlock's unvarnished, sympathetic portrayal makes Bessie's hardscrabble existence all the more heart-wrenching and transforms Bessie into a feminist heroine. The Lives of Diamond Bessie is a picaresque, a courtroom drama, and a ghost story rolled into one, celebrating the heart and soul of a woman done wrong." -- Mark Beauregard, author of The Whale: A Love Story "Fast-paced, richly observed, and populated with vibrant characters, The Lives of Diamond Bessie is unputdownable." --Adrienne Brodeur, author of the bestseller Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me, 2022 American Fiction Awards Winner in Cross Genre Fiction 2022 American Fiction Awards Finalist in Historical Fiction, Mystery/Suspense: Historical, and Women's Fiction 2022 Firebird Book Awards First Place Winner in Crime Fiction 2022 Firebird Book Awards Second Place Winner in Cross Genre 2022 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist in Paranormal and Finalist in Suspense 2022 IPPY Awards Bronze Winner in Historical Fiction "[A] genre-bending debut novel. . . .

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

Thank you so much for the quick response and delivery. I have not ordered from eBay in many years. You have renewed my trust that there are some professional sellers I can work with through eBay not just Amazon. Thanks again!☺️
