His father has abandoned them. Mrs. Allan, a wealthy, childless matron, adopts and makes a pet of little Eddie but her husband despises this “child of actors.” Searching for his birth family, he meets his cousin Virginia who is eight years old, and finds his soul’s companion. When she is nearly fourteen they are wed. Theirs is a marriage of the spirit infused with a scent of past lives. But they live in poverty, and soon Virginia is dying of tuberculosis. Asked by the New York City Historic House Trust to write a one-man play for the Poe Cottage in the Bronx, author and playwright Katherine Ashe put her formidable historical research skills to work in crafting this powerful monologue, capturing the voice of the enigmatic literary figure.

Her hair was damp and clung to her face like seaweed 'round the drowned.”
