Historical Fiction Hemingway’s Daughter
Finn Hemingway knows for a fact that she’s been born at the wrong time into
the wrong family with the wrong talents, making her three dreams for the
future almost impossible to attain. She burns to be a trial lawyer in an era
when Ruth Bader Ginsburg is being told to type and when a man who is 500th
in his law school class is hired over a woman who is first in hers. She
yearns to find true love when the family curse dictates that love always
ends for the Hemingways, and usually, it ends badly. And finally, she’d give
up the first two dreams if she were able to triumph on the third. She longs
to have an impact on the only thing that matters to her father: his writing.
To accomplish that would require a miracle. All three dreams are almost
impossible, but it’s the “almost” that keeps Finn going. Ernest
Hemingway had three sons and ached to have a daughter. This is her
story.
About the Author
I get my best ideas in the barn as I groom my horse, Nifty. The dogs keep a
careful distance as I lift a hoof, scrape it out, then move on to the next
one. The repetition soothes me. I begin to dream about women like me, women
on the edge, restless women who still want to trust that there is love out
there, and that being sentimental is not always contemptible, and that good
men are not so hard to find if you keep slogging along, seeking a melody to
fit your words. So that’s who and what I write about: restless women
searching.
