For many years, not a great deal was known about Maud's personal life. Her childhood was spent with strict, undemonstrative grandparents, and her reflections on writing, her lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression, her "year of mad passion," and her difficult married life remained locked away, buried deep within her unpublished personal journals. Through this biography, kindred spirits of all ages who, like Maud, never gave up "the substance of things hoped for" will be captivated anew by her words.
