About the Author

AMY HILL HEARTH is a New York Times–bestselling author and journalist. Her first book, written with the late Sarah L. and A. Elizabeth Delany, is the acclaimed oral history Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters’ First 100 Years. Having Our Say was honored with a Christopher Award and later inspired a popular Broadway play and Peabody Award–winning movie. Amy Hill Hearth, who lives in New Jersey and worked as a reporter for the New York Times, has long been captivated by the history of New York City. A fascination with an old, abandoned house that once belonged to Chester A. Arthur led her to Elizabeth Jennings’s story, which she has researched for more than two decades.
