The Harpe Brothers were America's first serial killers. Their tales of brutality are hauntingly familiar, but little is known about the women who traveled with them on their murderous spree. Whither Thou Goest tells how two teenage girls went from an everyday life with a loving pioneer family to one of horror, sacrifice, redemption, and forgiveness. Join us to see how these sisters could witness and live through the worst of abuses and make it to the other side.
After reading this book, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Please feel free to leave a review and let us know what you think about this story based on the author's family history.
Unlike many stories, one where creative thinking is sparked by an idea and then brought forward to completion, this story was different. Hidden away in a centuries-old tale of savage barbarity and hatred was a story of love waiting to be found. What makes it special is that I did not find it; it quite literally found me.
Robert G. Huffstutler
The author's vivid and captivating descriptions and engaging dialogue held my attention from the first page to the last. The characters were both believable and deeply relatable, fostering a strong connection between them and the reader. The protagonist's relentless struggle and unwavering tenacity stirred a profound concern for her well-being within me. The narrative was a thrilling rollercoaster ride filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The portrayal of an unyielding sisterly bond was nothing short of breathtaking. The author skillfully depicted how this bond withstood the rest of time and adversity, strengthening the characters. The theme of sisterhood and its inherent power added a layer of depth to the plot, making it all the more compelling.

While other children went to bed listening to fairy tales of heroes like Peter Pan and Aslan from Narnia, Robert G. Huffstutler grew up on stories from the bible, but it was the stories that were passed from generation to generation in the family that really captured his attention.
Traditions like buttering your nose every birthday and tales of his ancestor surviving the Trail of Tears grew from small seedlings to a forest of sagas that the young boy would impart to his daughters as an adult.
Robert G. Huffstutler didn't share these legends with others outside his family until retiring as an Internship Coordinator at Northern Illinois University. As a retiree, he chose to start a new career as an author instead of playing golf and wrote his first historical fiction novel. The story of Susan and Betsy Roberts is the first book written and published by this author, but not the end of the library of exciting narratives inside his mind.
