The Quacks Daughter

In 1884, the notorious Mrs. Dr. Rebecca J. Keck sent her daughter to Vassar to raise the familys social status Cora Kecks unexpected educational opportunity opens a window to a turbulent era that greatly resembles our own. Raised in the gritty Mississippi River town of Davenport, Iowa, she could have walked straight out of a Susan Glaspell story, except everything in this amazing tale is true. In 2007, Coras great-granddaughter discovered a trove of diaries and photos that reveal the inner life of a spirited heroine who ultimately faced a stark life and death crisis that would force her to re-examine her doubts about her mothers medical integrity.
