description: She dreams of love for others but never for herself... Elizabeth Barrett is a published poet--and a virtual prisoner in her own home. Blind family loyalty ties her to a tyrannical father who forbids any of his children to marry. Bedridden by chronic illness she has resigned herself to simply existing. That is until the letter arrives...I love your verses with all my heart writes Robert Browning an admiring fellow poet. As friendly correspondence gives way to something more Elizabeth discovers that Robert's love is not for her poetry alone. Might God grant her more than mere existence? And will she risk defying her father in pursuit of true happiness?
