It is hard to imagine what that long journey eastward must have felt like for Belle Frost. Penniless, having to cast herself on the pity of her in-laws, whom she reflexively disliked, she must have summoned every ounce of internal strength to present herself at the front door of their austere, three-story clapboard house at 370 Haverhill Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on the Merrimack River, twenty-five miles north of Boston.
