About the book
Ember Dawson is restraint personified. It is not without reason that she is said to bear a striking resemblance to the poet Emily Dickinson. Like her, Ember lives in her head. She finds it difficult to express her feelings, so she writes them down. The only person allowed to read her poems is Sutton Grey. The beautiful new stranger in town to whom Ember dedicates her intimate words. But the more intense the two women's feelings for each other become, the more suffocating Ember's works become. Sutton is absorbed by the lines and seeks support in the arms of another. Their love seems set in stone. History seems to be repeating itself. For the definition of love from a poet's point of view is as timeless as her words themselves. And every poet needs her muse. Ember's muse is Sutton. Emily's muse was Sue - her brother's wife. To the book!
