But that's only because she's learned to channel her literary hero Dorothy Parker, the most celebrated and scathing wit of the twentieth century. If only Violet could summon that kind of strength in her personal life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eViolet visits the Algonquin Hotel in an attempt to find inspiration from the hallowed dining room where Dorothy Parker and so many other famous writers of the 1920s traded barbs, but she gets more than she bargained for when Parker's feisty spirit rematerializes. An irreverent ghost with problems of her own--including a refusal to cross over to the afterlife--Mrs. Parker helps Violet face her fears, becoming in turn mentor and tormentor...and ultimately, friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eREADERS GUIDE INSIDE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEllen Meister \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Other Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Smart One\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSecret Confessions of the Applewood PTA\u003c\/i\u003e.
