Forget what you've been taught about Emily Dickinson, discard the myth that has been passed down through the years, and step into Emily's real life. Although this is a work of fiction, it is told in the first-person as if it were an autobiography and contains a mix of both known facts and informed speculation. The story begins on Emily's death bed as she looks back on her life. You will not find here that fictional phantom-in-white slipping around corners and hiding behind screens, avoiding the world. The Emily Dickinson you'll meet in these pages is the woman revealed in her letters and in the comments of her contemporaries. She was a strong woman faced with more losses than anyone should have to bear, and her everyday life had more to do with the tasks of maintaining a home than with crafting the perfect poem. She forged lasting friendships, forming deep attachments to those most integral to her happiness. Emily's one well-documented love affair (not with a married minister, despite what you've heard elsewhere) is explored, along with another possible love story that may have fueled her most productive years and produced her most-admired poems. Patricia Sierra is an award-winning author whose work has been published by Random House and Avon Books, as well by small literary magazines. In the Kindle Store, you can find other novels, short stories, and poems written under under her own name and under the pen name Sierra Philpin (books written with co-author John Philpin).
