Set in the quaint college town of Athens, Georgia, in the year 2000, social recluse, Ann Fitzgerald, develops a crush on her favorite professor, Dr. Fagan. Weeks away from graduating, she fears she'll never get the opportunity to test the boundaries of their affectionate student/teacher relationship. Meanwhile, the only thing that stands between her and a diploma, is the dark and troubled Professor Schwartz, who wants nothing more than to see Ann fail. He issues a final class assignment that forces her to address her detachment within her nuclear family as well as delve into the mass dysfunction that exists in her large extended circle. As Annie researches for the paper, unexpected tragedy befalls her family and the most unlikely love enters her life. To find her center, she retreats to Emerson's Place, an abandoned hotel in the foothills of Alabama where she spent summers as a child. There, she finds the strength to begin her life anew as she learns to let go.
Drawing primarily from previously unpublished manuscripts in the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association Collection in the Houghton Library at Harvard University, recent editions of Emerson's correspondence, journals and notebooks, sermons, and early lectures have provided authoritative texts that inspire readers to consider Emerson's place in American culture afresh. The two-volume Later Lectures of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1843–1871, presents the texts of forty-eight complete and unpublished lectures delivered during the crucial middle years of Emerson's career. They offer his thoughts on New England and “Old World” history and culture, poetic theory, education, the history and uses of intellect—as well as his ideas on race relations and women's rights, subjects that sparked many debates. These final volumes contain some of Emerson's most timelessly relevant work and are sure to engage and inform any reader interested in discovering one of our country's greatest intellectuals.

In this novel about Ralph Waldo Emerson's wife, Lidian, Amy Belding Brown examines the emotional landscape of love and marriage. Living in the shadow of one of the most famous men of her time, Lidian becomes deeply disappointed by marriage, but consigned to public silence by social conventions and concern for her family's reputation. Drawn to the erotic energy and intellect of close family friend Henry David Thoreau, she struggles to negotiate the confusing territory between love and friendship while maintaining her moral authority and inner strength. In the course of the book, she deals with overwhelming social demands, faces devastating personal loss, and discovers the deepest meaning of love. Lidian eventually encounters the truth of her own character and learns that even our faults can lead us to independence.
