Story53
In this novel about Ralph Waldo Emerson’s wife, Lidian, Amy Belding Brown examines the emotional landscape of love and marriage. Living in the shadow of one of the most famous men of her time, Lidian becomes deeply disappointed by marriage, but consigned to public silence by social conventions and concern for her family’s reputation. Drawn to the erotic energy and intellect of close family friend Henry David Thoreau, she struggles to negotiate the confusing territory between love and friendship while maintaining her moral authority and inner strength.

But in the middle of a high-stakes meeting in London, the practiced mask of corporate competence finally cracked. In a single moment of uncontrolled laughter, he walked out of his career, left his laptop glowing on the table, and didn't look back.
