Publisher's Synopsis
Dear reader,
As I sit here with my pen in hand, I cannot help but think of the dear Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne. They were born into an isolated world, surrounded by the wild beauty of the Yorkshire moors. Their lives were filled with hardship, but also with moments of great joy and inspiration. Growing up, they found solace in their own company and in the worlds, they created through their own writing. Each of them had their own way of expressing selves - Emily with her passion for the supernatural, Anne with her love of nature, and Charlotte with a deep yearning for love and adventure. It is through there diaries that they were able to truly express themselves, to reveal the heart of who they were. In those pages, they poured out the deepest emotions and thoughts without fear of judgment. they wrote of their triumphs and failures, joys and sorrows, of hopes and fears. As time goes by, I find myself reflecting on there lives and the legacy they have left behind. The stories wrote, the words penned, still have the power to inspire and transport readers to far-off worlds. And yet, there is so much more to the story than what has been told. It is my greatest honor to share with you the untold stories of the Bronte sisters. Through the pages of there diaries, you will get to know them as they were - not just as writers, but as human beings with there own unique struggles and triumphs. This book is a journey through there lives, raw and unfiltered, and it is my hope that it will bring you as much joy as it has brought to me to write.
