Child of Earth — Maureen Peters

An atmospheric tale of an extraordinary woman and the influences that shaped her. Damaged by the deaths of her mother and older sisters and more at ease with the animals she tamed from the wild, Emily Bronte's unusual mind found its release in her brilliant creativity. In CHILD OF EARTH, we are offered new insights into Emily's childhood traumas, the desperate struggles for independence which led to bouts of self-starvation, the loves that shaped her thinking and a possible reason for her death.
