How do you want to be remembered? When it comes to Isabella Stewart Gardner, the question can be complicated. She froze an entire museum of her life in time. But the details of that life, in the 100 years since her death, have also been carefully curated.

Now, a new fictional account of her story, aims to present her more fully. We talk more about that account with Emily Franklin, author of the new book "The Lioness of Boston," to be released on April 11.

This segment aired on April 6, 2023.
