A Brief Synopsis of Redesigning Emma…Redesigning Emma transports us to the turn of the last century, when Five Points gang leader Paul Kelly controlled the streets, Emily Post hosted the absurdly wealthy, and the mentally ill were shuttled into asylums. This novel brings an era to life. It vividly shows us the world of one visionary milliner on Manhattan’s Ladies’ Mile—a spunky, generous-hearted young woman who is torn between her desire for success, her involvement with the 1899 newsboys’ strike and two very intriguing men.

Both books have won accolades from readers and critics alike. Thin Places took first place in the Pacific Northwest Writers Manuscript Contest, and when judges at the Colorado Romance Writers contest gave Redesigning Emma a first place prize, they hailed the novel as a beautifully written historical piece with a charming protagonist. Diane Owens Prettyman lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and standard poodle Henry.
