Product Description

Early one November morning, Kara Borden, a pretty fourteen year old, was caught by her parents as she snuck into their Lancaster County, Pennsylvania home. She confessed to spending the night with eighteen-year-old David Ludwig, and her parentsâ€”evangelicals who had home-schooled their daughterâ€”were beside themselves with anger. They summoned David to talk immediately. But David arrived to the house with another plan in mindâ€¦

Two hours later, police arrived at the Borden residence to find that Mr. and Mrs. Borden had been shot deadâ€”and David and Kara were nowhere to be found. Was Kara a hostage? Or an accomplice? A manhunt began that would end hundreds of miles away in a highly televised speed chase.Â The two lovers were eventually capturedâ€¦ and one would spend a life behind bars.Â This is the true story of a crime set in a closely-guarded world of fundamentalist belief, and the tale of a God-fearing teenager whose DESIRE TURNED DEADLY.
