A captivating novel that explores the little-known romance of a beloved American icon Helen Keller has long been a towering figure in the pantheon of world heroines. Yet the enduring portrait of her in the popular imagination is The Miracle Worker, which ends when Helen is seven years old. Rosie Sultan’s debut novel imagines a part of Keller’s life she rarely spoke of or wrote about: the man she once loved. When Helen is in her thirties and Annie Sullivan is diagnosed with tuberculosis, a young man steps in as a private secretary. Peter Fagan opens a new world to Helen, and their sensual interactions—signing and lip-reading with hands and fingers—quickly set in motion a liberating, passionate, and clandestine affair. It’s not long before Helen’s secret is discovered and met with stern disapproval from her family and Annie. As pressure mounts, the lovers plot to elope, and Helen is caught between the expectations of the people who love her and her most intimate desires. Richly textured and deeply sympathetic, Sultan’s highly inventive telling of a story Keller herself would not tell is both a captivating romance and a rare glimpse into the mind and heart of an inspirational figure.

The astonishing and imaginative debut novel about Helen Keller and the man she loved What comes to mind when you think of Helen Keller? Is it the deaf-mute wild child at the water pump outside her Tuscumbia, Alabama, home portrayed in The Miracle Worker or the adult activist for the rights of the disabled and women, the socialist who vehemently opposed war? Rosie Sultan’s debut novel imagines an intimate part of Keller’s life she rarely spoke or wrote about: her one and only love affair. Peter Fagan, a reporter from Boston, steps in as her secretary when her companion Annie Sullivan falls ill. The world this opens up for her is not the stuff of grade school biographies. Their affair meets with stern disapproval from Annie and from Helen’s mother, and when the lovers plot to elope, Helen is trapped between their expectations and her innermost desires. Sultan’s courageous novel insists on Helen’s right to desire, to human frailty—to be fully and completely alive.

“[My life] is so rich with blessings—an immense capacity of enjoyment, books, and beloved friends. . . . Most earnestly I pray the dear Heavenly Father that I may sometime make myself far more worthy of the love shown to me than I am now.” —April 22, 1900 letter from Helen Keller to John Hitz, AFB When Helen Keller died in 1968, at the age of eighty-eight years old, she was one of the most widely known women in the world. The overnight success of her biography, The Story of My Life, written at age twenty-three, made it obvious to Keller that she was endowed with a gift for writing and speaking. As she got older, she increasingly began to do both on a variety of subjects extending beyond her own disability, including social, political, and theological issues. Helen Keller: Selected Writings collects Keller’s personal letters, political writings, speeches, and excerpts of her published materials from 1887 to 1968. The book also includes an introductory essay by Kim E. Nielsen, headnotes to each document, and a selected bibliography of work by and about Keller. The majority of the letters and some prints, all drawn from the Helen Keller Archives at the American Foundation for the Blind in New York, are being published for the first time. Literature, education, advocacy, politics, religion, travel: the many interests of Helen Keller culminate in this book and are reflected in her spirited narration. Also portrayed are the individuals Keller inspired and took inspiration from, including her teacher Annie Sullivan, her family, and others with whom she formed friendships throughout the course of her life. This often charming collection revels in and preserves Keller’s public and private life, coming to us in the year which marks the 125th anniversary of her birthday.

AUTHOR WINNER OF THE BAMAHANE PRIZEIn a compelling, richly researched novel that draws from hundreds of letters, diary entries and original sources, Jonathan Kis-Lev tells the fascinating, untold story of the mentorship and friendship between Annie Sullivan and her pupil Helen Keller. While blindness and deafness, financial strains, a failed love affair and inner struggles threaten to shape their world, the two women choose to redefine love and friendship, and subsequently to shape the history of education. "A triumphant, controversial, and fascinating plunge into a mentor-mentee relationship . . . Irresistible."-THE REVIEWER "Gorgeous . . . Moves with the pace of a thriller."-THIS WEEK BOOK EXCERPT (printed with permission):"Annie sat down by her desk, pulled out the ink bottle and the pen, and began writing. She was excited. "To: Mrs. Hopkins,March 5th, 1888My dear Mrs. Hopkins,Yesterday it was a year since I arrived in Alabama. A year! Can you believe it? Oh, Mrs. Hopkins! How forlorn and weary I was, nobody, not even you can imagine! I remember how the conductor on the train tried to comfort me. He noticed that I cried a great deal, and he did his best to cheer me. I remember getting off the train and meeting Mrs. Keller in the carriage. When she spoke, a great weight rolled off my heart, there was such sweetness and refinement in her voice! It is a wonder how much of one's character and disposition is revealed in one's voice. There is no doubt in my mind that the voice is a truer index to character than the face. We learn to control the expression of our features; but very few ever succeed in controlling their voices.I remember arriving at the house and seeing Helen for the first time. How disappointed I was when the untamed little creature stubbornly refused to kiss me and struggled frantically to free herself from my embrace! She touched my bag and tried to open it, searching for food. When her mother took her away from my bag Helen began to kick violently. This was my introduction to that bit of my life. I need not tell you, dear, that this has been a hard year; but I do not forget the many pleasant moments in it.Many times I have lost my patience and courage; but I have found that one difficult task accomplished makes the next easier. These days nearly every mail brings some article in it about Helen. We even received (I'm not sure if I can tell you that, so keep it a secret for now) an invitation from the secretary of the White House, informing us that President Cleveland had read about Helen and wishes to meet her AND her teacher! Could you believe it?! Oh, Mrs. Hopkins, it is a blessed thing to know that there is someone who rejoices with us when we are glad, and who takes pride in our achievements from afar. Until I met you, Mrs. Hopkins, I never loved anyone, except my little brother Jimmie. I have always felt that the one thing needful to happiness is love. To have a friend is to have one of the sweetest gifts that life can bring, and my heart sings for joy now, for I have both you and Helen as my dear friends. Yours with love, Annie."END OF EXCERPT"A compelling, page-turning narrative . . . Re-examines history from a fresh, psychological point of view." -THE SENDER REPORT "Painstakingly researched, beautifully hewn, compulsively readable . . . Not to be missed." -DER TAG INCLUDING: INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR, BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION IDEAS AND MORE INSIDE!

Annie Sullivan was little more than a half-blind orphan with a fiery tongue when she arrived at Ivy Green in 1887. Desperate for work, she'd taken on a seemingly impossible job-teaching a child who was deaf, blind, and as ferocious as any wild animal. But if anyone was a match for Helen Keller, it was the girl who'd been nicknamed Miss Spitfire. In her efforts to reach Helen's mind, Annie lost teeth to the girl's raging blows, but she never lost faith in her ability to triumph. Told in first person, Annie Sullivan's past, her brazen determination, and her connection to the girl who would call her Teacher are vividly depicted in this powerful novel.
