Rhoda Bingham Daniels was a direct descendant of a famous puritan minister back East, which meant letters from the family contained more hellfire and information on how babies are evil than you might expect. This story has everything: TULIPs, sex cults, lying toddlers and an intimate look at religion and family life in early 1800s Birmingham.
