caption: The image shows a black and white portrait of Maude Anne, the author of the novel, with the title of the book written in bold text above her. She is wearing a white dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders, her hair is pulled back in a bun, and she has a gentle expression on her face. Her eyes are looking off to the side, and her hands are clasped in front of her. The background is a light blue, and the text is written in a classic font.
