Excerpt from The Golden Hollow
I turned back the pages and found your name. I read on. It was as if I had stumbled upon a trunk full of old, half -for gotten playthings. I felt a kinship with you that made me long to draw my chair up beside you, wherever you were, and tell you everything I did not want to tell to anybody else. There was something about your mind I knew. How can that be? Perhaps there are things one has always known, and remembers at odd times. That feeling came back to me again as I read your latest book. The girl in it is just like me. As my beloved Louis Stevenson has said, you must have been eavesdropping at the door of my heart. I am the sentry of my camp.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating exploration of female identity and self-discovery in the early 20th century, told through a series of intimate letters written by a young woman to a renowned author. The letters provide a glimpse into the complex world of a woman navigating the expectations of society, the constraints of her social circle, and the yearning for a deeper connection. As she chronicles her life, the author delves into themes of love, friendship, societal pressure, and the search for meaning. We witness her struggles with her engagement to a man who is intellectually stimulating but emotionally distant. She longs for a connection that goes beyond societal norms, finding solace in the books of her chosen confidant, a writer whose work resonates deeply with her soul. The author's yearning for a life beyond the confines of traditional expectations echoes the anxieties and aspirations of a generation of women on the cusp of change. This book offers a unique and timeless perspective on the challenges and triumphs of finding one's voice and forging one's own path.
