Produktinformationen zu „Finding Annie (ePub)“
This is a fictional tale but based on the true rags-to-riches story of a young Irish girl escaping the poverty of post-Potato Famine Ireland. Annie Elizabeth Maher ends up in the service of one of the wealthiest and well-connected families in New York. She mixes with artists, politicians, and wealthy business people and travels the world with her mistress, Georgiana. After Georgiana dies young, Annie retreats to make a new life in Long Branch, New Jersey. A successful and philanthropic woman with a portfolio of seven properties in 1900 is a rare event, let alone one who has emerged from poverty in Ireland. Nonetheless, she makes her mark on this seaside town and lives happily. However, she is arrested in 1924 and is committed to Trenton Asylum as a lunatic-was this a conspiracy to bring her down or an intolerance of female success? Of her time in Trenton under the now infamous Dr. Henry Cotton, how will this megalomania in medicine impact on her life?
Autoren-Porträt von Peter Maher
Peter Maher, born in London in 1947, has been a teacher, High School Principal, University Researcher, and Educational Consultant to UK Governments and large commercial companies. He is a published non-fiction author with books based on his work in Education. His greatest passions though have been for the arts and his search for his ancestral roots. That latter exercise has uncovered missing relatives, half-sisters and cousins all across the world. This debut novel flows from his research into his grandparents' generation and he has turned the story of just one of those siblings into a compelling roller coaster ride of the loves and lives of a remarkable woman.
