Synopsis
Civil War nurse and teacher Hannah uses her psychic powers to create a comfortable home for her lifelong companion Elizabeth – a scholar who suffered the indignities heaped on women in academia in the late 19th century. It's another one of Aldridge's classic novels of feminist triumph and love colored outside the lines.

About the Author
Anyda Marchant (1911-2006) was an attorney, novelist and publisher who wrote under the pen name of Sarah Aldridge. She was the president of the ground-breaking feminist publishing imprint Naiad Press from its 1972 inception to 1995, when she left Naiad to found A&M Books. Ms. Marchant was born in Brazil and moved to the District of Columbia at age six.. She was among the first female attorneys in Washington, DC and later worked and traveled for 18 years for the World Bank. In 1972, Marchant and her life partner Muriel Crawford founded the Naiad Press as a vehicle for publishing Marchant's first novel, The Latecomer. From there, Naiad became an avenue for the publication of other feminist and lesbian literature. Naiad published eleven Sarah Aldridge novels and grew to be a powerhouse in feminist publishing. In 1995 Marchant and Crawford withdrew from Naiad and began their own publishing company, A&M Books of Rehoboth Beach, DE. All of Aldridge’s novels have strong feminist threads and portray women who chafe under the confines of the roles assigned to them in patriarchal society. As they find their way, the bring society along with them, just as novelist Aldridge did in over 30 years of writing and publishing. Ms. Marchant’s publishing goal was always “to give women writers a voice,” and she was editor, mentor and benefactor to many emerging writers.
