Author Amy Belding Brown & PPL's New England Book Club present Mr. Emerson's Wife, a work of historical fiction. In her own words, author Amy Belding Brown presents this book as a novel of "what might have been." While not a literal account of the life of Ralph Waldo or Lidian Emerson, it is a captivating story based on a rumored affair between Lidian and Henry David Thoreau that is sure to spark discussion.
