ONLINE EVENT. As the last remaining descendant of the Bronte family, Samantha Whipple is used to stirring up speculation wherever she goes. After the untimely death of her eccentric father, a brilliant author in his own right, Samantha is the presumed heir to a long-rumored trove of diaries, letters and early novel drafts passed down from the Bronte family - a hidden fortune whose existence has been endlessly debated by Bronte scholars and fanatics. Samantha, however, has never seen this alleged estate, and for all she knows it's just as fictional as Wuthering Heights  and  Jane Eyre.

But everything changes when Samantha enrolls at Oxford University and long-lost objects from her past begin rematerializing in her life, beginning with an old novel annotated in her father's handwriting. With the help of a handsome, but inscrutable professor, Samantha plunges into a vast literary mystery and an untold family legacy, one that can only be solved by repurposing the tools of literature and decoding the clues hidden within the Bronte's own novels.

A fast-paced adventure from start to finish, this smart and original novel is a moving exploration of what happens when the freatest truth is, in fact, fiction.
