When Annie Burns, a young Irish immigrant, takes a job as the cook for the famous poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, she finds her task nearly impossible. Mr. Emerson is far more interested in the wonders of nature, poetry, and the power of the imagination than he is in the food Annie prepares. Afraid she will fail at her new position, Annie discovers a creative solution by looking to Mr. Emerson's own philosophy. By embracing her own imagination—culminating in dishes as creative as 'Sunrise Pie'—she learns to connect with her employer and earns his appreciation in this charming, historically-inspired story.
