Summary
A compelling blend of biography and memoir, The Field House recounts the life of writer Rachel Field--whose works for adults and children were once wildly successful but are now largely forgotten--and how her chance "meeting" with the author through the whispers of an old, neglected island home in Maine sparked a startling friendship across time and impossible distance.
