A Tale Of Resilience, Retribution And Triumph

Resilience and Revenge: The Butlaw Sisters’ Journey

After Regina’s husband abandons her and their four children in Chicago, she relocates to Los Angeles, where she faces financial struggles as a single mother. The girls are placed in an orphanage by Jewish Family Services, where they stay until graduation, gaining the skills needed for independence. At University High School, Rose, Josephine, and Dorothy Butlaw each demonstrate unique talents—Rose in math, Josephine in art, and Dorothy in journalism—but their journeys are hindered by jealousy, anti-Semitism, and cruelty, preventing them from receiving the recognition they deserve. As they move forward in life, unexpected events provide each sister with an opportunity to take revenge on those who stood in their way.

About the Book

Housewife Assassin

Housewife Assassin, written by Geri Spieler, offers a captivating and detailed portrait of the life of Sara Jane Moore, the middle-aged mother of five who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford.

Spieler’s extensive research and correspondence with Moore, who was imprisoned for her crime, allow her to deconstruct Moore’s tumultuous life, including her marriages, abandonment of children, faked amnesia, and even her work as an FBI informant turned double agent.

Against the backdrop of the turbulent 60s and 70s, Spieler paints a picture of an erratic and unstable woman with a protean capacity to shift identities.

Through interviews with President Ford himself and other research, Spieler confirms some details and debunks others to deliver a captivating and compelling profile of a society lady turned elusive assassin.
