    A Gathering Light

    A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly In Brief Based on a real-life murder which shocked turn-of-the-century America, A Gathering Light is the story of the coming of age of a strong, selfless heroine. Mattie is torn between her familial responsibilities, her desire to be a writer, and the excitement of a first romance. Her dilemmas and choices are quietly reflected in the life of a young woman found drowned in a lake, a woman whom Mattie gets to know only through a bundle of letters left in her possession. The tale of the drowned girl merges with Mattie’s own story, giving her the courage to define her own future. In Detail Inspired by the infamous case of the People vs. Chester Gillette (the basis for Theodore Dreiser’s novel An American Tragedy and the classic 1950 movie A Place in the Sun), Jennifer Donnelly reinvents the story of the murder of Grace Brown, finding in it a different, warmer light. It is July 1906, and seventeen-year-old Mattie Gokey is spending her first summer away from home. She is working the busy holiday season in an Adirondacks hotel, earning the money her family needs to maintain its run-down farm, and saving up to set up home with her fiancé. When a young woman is found drowned in the nearby lake, Mattie finds herself in possession of a secret that may prove impossible to keep: the day before, the woman gave her a bundle of letters which Mattie promised to burn. As the local men search for the woman’s partner and suspicions grow as to the circumstances of her death, Mattie recounts the previous four months

    Dumbarton House Annual Report

    Dumbarton House Annual Report Fiscal Year 2013 September 2012 – August 2013 Headquarters & Museum ~ The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America Letter from the Executive Director and chairman Dear Friends, Our temporary exhibition this past year—Metamo’rphosis I—provides a fitting theme for our 2013 fiscal year activities here at Dumbarton House, with exciting transformations afoot at your NSCDA national headquarters and museum. In the museum, new collections acquisitions have allowed us to enrich our interpretation of life in our national capital’s earliest days, while the Metamo’rphosis I exhibition encouraged contemporary artists to find inspiration for their modern creations in our historic collection. In the museum interiors, the Dining Room received a stunning facelift, returning it to its authentic Federal period aesthetic. Outside, a transformation of another sort commenced with extensive upgrades to irrigation and garden lighting systems performed alongside emergency repairs of the air conditioning compressor and multiple sink holes. Inside, summer renovations carved out dedicated collections storage space from a former custodial supply closet and office space, and created a headquarters entrance, reception, meeting, and office space in the building’s west wing. Meanwhile, a team of skilled engineers, conservators, preservation architects, and sustainability consultants conducted a year-long study of the site’s HVAC system, funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The NSCDA 2012 Biennial kick-started this year of metamorphoses as members elected new national leadership (including Anna Duff as new NSCDA Vice President-Headquarters, Dumbarton House) and unveiled an engaging new brand for the Society. Our numerous museum programs, serving just under 20,000 this past year, and these numerous preservation efforts would not be possible without the generous support of friends like you from across the country.

    A Northern Light Author

    Major Works Data Sheet: A Northern Light Title: A Northern Light Biographical information about the author: Author: Jennifer Donnelly Jennifer Donnelly was born in 1963 in Port Chester, New York. She attended the University of Rochester, and Publication Date: 2003 majored in English Literature and European History. Donnelly lives in both Brooklyn and Tivoli, New York. Genre: Historical Fiction She is married and has a daughter and two rescued greyhounds (source, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Donnelly). Historical/Contextual information: A Northern Light is based on the real murder that inspired Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy. Detailed information on the real case can be found at: www.nycourts.gov/history/gillette.htm Plot summary: In 1906, Mattie Gokey is a 16-year-old girl that lives with her father and three sisters (ages 5, 11, and 14) in rural New York. She is torn between honoring a promise to her dying mother and following her dreams. She promised to stay and help out the family. That would mean marrying Royal Loomis and helping to run his farm. Or, she could go to New York City and go to college, staying true to her dreams. Either way, she wins and loses at the same time. The events of the novel alternate between what goes on at home and with Royal (such as helping around the house, the tense relationship between Mattie and her father, attending school, and Royal’s insensitivity toward her) and what occurs while she is working at the Glenmore Hotel (the apparent murder of a woman named Grace Brown).
