Emily Dickinsons life is reimagined in her own voice and through eyes of a young Irish maid--an enchanting novel in the spirit of Longbourn and Mrs. Poe Ada Concannons first day in America is a success. Shes the new maid for the respected but eccentric Dickinson family of Amherst, Massachusetts. Despite the differences in age and class, eighteen-year-old Ada, a neat little Irish person, fresh off the boat, strikes up a deep freindship with Miss Emily, the gifted elder daughter living a spinsters life at home. Emily is a bastion of support as Ada struggles to find her place in this new world, while Adas toil gives Emily the freedom she needs to write. But Emilys passion for words begins to dominate her life. She decides to wear nothing but white and increasingly avoids the outside world. When Adas safety and reputation are threatened, however, Emily faces down her own demons in order to help her friend, with shocking consequences.
