Emily Dickinson and her housemaid, Willa Noble, realize there is nothing poetic about murder in this first book in an all-new series from USA Today bestselling and Agatha Award–winning author Amanda Flower.

January 1855 Willa Noble knew it was bad luck when it was pouring rain on the day of her ever-important job interview at the Dickinson home in Amherst, Massachusetts. When she arrived late, disheveled with her skirts sodden and filthy, she'd lost all hope of being hired for the position. As the housekeeper politely told her they'd be in touch, Willa started toward the door of the stately home only to be called back by the soft but strong voice of Emily Dickinson. What begins as tenuous employment turns to friendship as the reclusive poet takes Willa under her wing.

Tragedy soon strikes and Willa's beloved brother, Henry, is killed in a tragic accident at the town stables. With no other family and nowhere else to turn, Willa tells Emily about her brother’s death and why she believes it was no accident. Willa is convinced it was murder. Henry had been very secretive of late, only hinting to Willa that he'd found a way to earn money to take care of them both. Viewing it first as a puzzle to piece together, Emily offers to help, only to realize that she and Willa are caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse that reveals corruption in Amherst that is generations deep. Some very high-powered people will stop at nothing to keep their profitable secrets even if that means forever silencing Willa and her new mistress....

Lightweight Dress Great for a Hot Day!
Size: 9-10 Years, Color: Purple
This is a cute dress; my daughter loved it. The material is light weight and breathable it is perfect for a hot day or for doing athletic activities. The color is bright and the material quality is very good. It is true to size, maybe a little tight so size up if needed. It is a great dress.

Super cute! Well made, great value!
My 8yo daughter loves this dress with shorts. It’s a perfect mint green color. Not too heavy of material but not see through. The shorts are not attached which makes it super easy to go to the restroom..etc. Great choice for the money. It washes well. I opt to hang dry most of our athletic attire so the dress gets hung but I machine dry the shorts and they do fine.

Perfect for sweaty summer days
So cute we bought more! Perfect fit for my daughter- size 8-10 was great. If your kid is thicker or taller, size up. Fabric was great for humid summer days.
