Description
"Eighteen-year-old Ada Concannon is the plucky new maid for the respected by eccentric Dickinson family of Amherst, Massachusetts. Despite their difference in age and the upstairs-downstairs divide, Ada, newly arrived from Ireland, strikes up a deep friendship with thirty-six-year-old Emily Dickinson, the gifted middle child. Miss Emily is a bastion of support as Ada struggles to find her place in this new world, but Emily's passion for words begins to dominate her life. She will wear only white and avoids the world outside the Dickinson homestead. When Ada's safety and reputation are threatened, however, Emily must face down her own demons to help her friend, with shocking consequences. One of America's most beloved and reclusive poets is vividly brought to life through her own voice in this brilliant novel." -- Page [4] cover.
