In Connection with the De Willoughby Claim

Though she is today best remembered for her contributions to the canon of young adult literature, which include the classic The Secret Garden, author Frances Hodgson Burnett also penned a number of novels intended for adult audiences. The complex family drama In Connection with the De Willoughby Claim follows several families that have been rent asunder by various forces -- some avoidable, some inescapable -- and the steps they take to regroup in the aftermath.
