This, That And The Third [Paperback]

At first glance, this might appear to be a story about Antoinette Davis, publicly identified as one of the most hated women in America. She is considered the worst type of offender, with convictions in-cluding sexual servitude of a minor, rape and murder. Her crimes are shocking and incite unquantifiable amounts of animosity and rage against her. I am drawn to her story, compelled to it even. Like the rest, I want to understand who she is and how this happened. But what keeps me submerged in this uncomfortable and heavy ocean is the need to understand why. Why Antoinette and not me? - A.H. Abigail Hickman lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband, Simeon. When she is not researching murders, she teaches Rhetoric and Composition at Mars Hill University and AB Technical Community College. Abigail is a contributing writer to Mountain Xpress. This, That and the Third is her first book.
