Publisher's Synopsis
A fictionalized account of a difficult chapter in the life of the greatest Victorian novelist
"All that I can see, all that I can hear, and all that I can think of is her; she is everywhere and everything to me."
In the summer of 1857 the handsome Charles Dickens was to become obsessed with a woman who was to change his life forever, but to pursue her was to risk everything. Set against the backdrop of 19th century London, Dickens struggles to oversee his "home for fallen women," mentor his friend—the drug-addicted Wilkie Collins, and parent his willful and rebellious children. Will the fulfillment which has so far eluded him be within his grasp, before his health fails?
