Let's time travel back to old New York City. Author John Wood Sweet joins the podcast to talk about his new book, The Sewing Girl's Tale. We also talk about John's own sewing skills and how you research a criminal case which took place hundreds of years ago.

*Warning to our listeners: The Sewing Girl's Tale is about a sexual assault and its aftermath. While we do not talk about the assault explicitly, we here at HNU want to make sure you are aware of the subject matter up front. We will be happy to have you back next episode if you need to skip this one.
