&ldquo;With&#160;lyrical prose&#160;and an&#160;irresistible&#160;narrative voice, Brown gives the reader a scrappy and little-known literary heroine to root for&mdash;the Irish maid-servant who helped rescue Emily Dickinson's poems.&#160;The immigrant experience is lovingly rendered against the backdrop of family drama, the historical details are immersive, and Dickinson fans will love this novel!&rdquo;&mdash;Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of The Women of Chateau Lafayette"Amy Belding Brown brings us&#160;a warm, intimate, and rich portrayal&#160;of Irish immigrant Margaret Maher, maid and confidante to Emily Dickinson. Margaret's story gives us a fascinating glimpse into another time while placing us directly inside the Dickinson household. I was captivated by this story and I know you will be too."&mdash;Kathleen Grissom, New York Times bestselling author of The Kitchen House&ldquo;What a joy it is to once again revel in Amy Belding Brown&rsquo;s incomparable voice. In Emily&rsquo;s House, Brown introduces us to the remarkable Irish maid who saved Emily Dickinson&rsquo;s unpublished oeuvre from certain destruction after her death. Margaret Maher&rsquo;s own disappointments mirrored her mistress&rsquo;s many, but the two women formed a bond so deep that if not for Maher&rsquo;s abiding determination, Dickinson&rsquo;s legacy would have been lost to us forever. Do we call Maggie Maher an American treasure? I think we must, and Amy Belding Brown, too.&rdquo;&mdash;Robin Oliveira, bestselling author of My Name is Mary Sutter"At once an outsider and a woman intimately immersed in the Dickinson household, Margaret paints a shrewd picture of the family&rsquo;s personalities, customs, and complexities. Brown once again shows a gift for shedding light on historical women."&mdash;Publishers Weekly"Fans of Marie Benedict and Kate Quinn will delight in this moving story that sheds light on the life of one of literature&rsquo;s most influential, yet mysterious poets.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;Brown&rsquo;s sensitive, intuitive, immersing prose is supremely apt for this gentle, compelling story. Dickinson fans will especially savor this novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist"The voice, the setting, the details of the house all feel authentic, which means a reader can just sink into the story, observing the eccentric Dickinson family through the eyes of an outsider right there in the kitchen."&mdash;Minneapolis Star-Tribune"By the end of this gratifying, intelligent tale, a variety of readers &ndash; from Emily Dickinson neophytes to students of her work &ndash; will leave with a more nuanced understanding of 'the myth of Amherst,' as well as a deep appreciation for the 'wild and warm and mighty' woman who stood by her side in life, enabling a legacy."&mdash;The Christian Science Monitor
