Here's the set-up:
Redesigning Emma transports us to the turn of the last century, when Five Points gang leader Paul Kelly held sway with the criminal element, Emily Post hosted the absurdly wealthy, and the mentally ill were shuttled into archaic asylums. This novel brings an entire era to life. Most vividly it show us the world of one visionary milliner on Manhattan’s Ladies’ Mile—a spunky, generous-hearted young woman who is torn between her desire for success, her involvement with the 1899 newsboys’ strike and two very intriguing men.
One Reviewer Notes:
Diane Owens' first novel, THIN PLACES, combined romance and adventure with spirituality. REDESIGNING EMMA is also a triple threat. Instead of spirituality, however, the third element here is historical context. She sets the story in one of America's most dynamic and exciting eras and gives some of that period's most colorful characters cameo appearances. If you liked THIN PLACES, then REDESIGNING EMMA is a must-read. If you have not yet experienced Owens' story-telling magic, give yourself a treat.
