Arriving in Winsville with a firm grasp of the classics, four steamer trunks of books, a bust of Quintilian, and shoes and gloves for different times of day, Vienna Daniels creates a stir in a town uncomfortable with difference. "She's not crazy, she's just educated," Dr. Barstow pronounces to Vienna's husband, Willard, who is plainly disappointed with the patrician bride he managed to marry. When the marriage fails and Willard abandons her, Vienna and her two children have nothing more than the magic of their own imaginations to parlay an accidental and unenviable situation into one that captivated the town. Private Altars is a compelling story about the nature of consequence - the way in which meaningless acts lead to irreversible situations, and the difficult compromise between the demands of society and the desires of the individual. Trapped in the wrong place and time, Vienna Daniels' attempt to transcend her circumstance unfolds into a haunting and unforgettable story.
Vienna Daniels arrived in Winsville, West Virginia with her new husband Willard and four steamer trunks of books. Then Willard leaves, embarrassed by his wife's outspoken ways and big-city ideas. And Vienna finds herself raising two children alone--and trying to keep her spirit alive in a town that has no room in its heart for a woman like her.
