Massachusetts, 1869. Margaret Maher has never been one to settle down. At twenty-seven, she's never met a man who has tempted her enough to relinquish her independence to a matrimonial fate, and she hasn't stayed in one place for long since her family fled the potato famine a decade ago.
When Maggie accepts a temporary position at the illustrious Dickinson family home in Amherst, it's only to save up enough for a ticket west to join her brothers in California. Maggie never imagines she will form a life-altering friendship with the eccentric, brilliant Miss Emily or that she'll stay at the Homestead for the next thirty years.
In this richly drawn novel, Amy Belding Brown explores what it is to be an outsider looking in, and she sheds light on one of Dickinson's closest confidantes-perhaps the person who knew the mysterious poet best-whose quiet act changed history and continues to influence literature to this very day.

NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD TRUE STORY: There have been other books featuring fictional servants in Emily Dickinson's life, but this is the first time Margaret Maher's indelible role in Dickinson's legacy has been written about
BOOK CLUB POTENTIAL: In addition to unveiling a little-known literary history, Amy Belding Brown brilliantly explores the outsider experience, pairing the true stories of a reclusive poet and an Irish immigrant, together making their way in nineteenth-century America, setting the stage for rich discussion
RICH CONTEMPORARY THEMES: The upstairs-downstairs dynamic between Emily and Margaret, as well as each woman's struggle not to be defined by her role and gender, set the stage for explorations of feminism and class
PERENNIAL FASCINATION WITH DICKINSON: People of all ages are fascinated by Dickinson, if the constant parade of TV and film projects are any indication, including AppleTV+'s series Dickinson, which spins Emily as a millennial hero!
